The best mineral makeup is the gift that keeps on giving. Unlike traditional makeup products, the best mineral makeup lines are free of preservatives and chemicals — like parabens, dyes and fragrances — that can wreak havoc on sensitive skin. They can be a lifesaver for women with skin conditions like eczema or rosacea who don't want to give up makeup. And, because most formulas don't contain oil, they also won't exacerbate acne-prone skin.
As for skin-care benefits, mineral makeup contains titanium oxide and zinc oxide, which provide some sun protection. Zinc oxide is also a natural anti-inflammatory, which helps soothe irritated skin.
