Welcome to the board and please tell us more about holistic makeup and what ingredients are good for your skin. Holistic/organic and pure skin care and makeup is really interesting. I believe that a lot of the huge cosmetic manufactures use all these chemicals and additives in their products because it's cheaper to make them that way and means more profit to them. A lot of it has to do with marketing also. The cosmetic manufactures like to make you think that you need a cleanser and a toner to clean your face and that you need a serum under your moisturizer not even including the primer before you put your foundating on and the finnish product also. Before you know you are using about 10 products daily on your face and that can't be good for your skin.

Hello everyone, I am new to this board and I am excited to see how many people love mineral makeup as much as I do. I am a holistic makeup and hair artist based in New York City. My company, Soulistic NYC, is a beauty and wellness company that specializes in custom blend mineral makeup. It is free of talc, which is linked to lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and testicular cancer, mica, which causes that unattractive shine on the face, chemicals, and fragrance. I add allantoin which comes from comfrey root (herb) for its soothing properties and a natural SPF for sun protection. My mineral makeup is 100% organic, vegan, and pure. I use my "Custom Earth Powders" for print, music videos, and runway shows with beautiful results.
