there are claims that both Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide (two common ingredients in mineral make up) can clog pores. while they offer UV protection and other benefits to the skin, it's said that they can clog pores due to being heavy metals. however, Zinc oxide is actually used in some acne treatments, so there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on whether it's good for the skin or not.
there's also research that suggests Mica can cause skin irritations and lead to pore clogging.
does anyone know for certain whether these ingredients- Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide, Mica- clogs pores or not? i'm really concerned about this issue since several mineral brands have caused small bumps to form on my cheeks.
