Q. WHAT MAKES THE ENGLISH MINERAL MAKEUP COMPANY MINERAL POWDERS SUPERIOR TO OTHERS?
We purchase the absolute best quality minerals available. There are two major factors that determines the quality of mineral makeup:
1. The quality of raw minerals – raw mineral colours are available in the different grades by the manufacturers around the world, depending on the level of purity. Ours are the always best we can source.
2. No preservatives or bulking additives – why is this so important to mention? Some mineral makeups offered in the market contain additional ingredients that can be skin irritants, such as bismuth oxychloride, talc, fillers, rice flour etc and they are still considered to be “Mineral Makeup”!
Fish scales and Cochineal beetles are also commonly used as a cheap way to add colour red and glimmer- YUK!
At English Mineral Makeup, we do NOT compromise the integrity and quality of our product – we source the highest ethically produced grades of pure & natural minerals available in the market. Also, we guarantee our products are free from additives that can cause cause skin irritation and allergies such as parabens, mineral oil, perfumes, fragrances, dyes, bismuth oxychloride, talc, rice flour etc. We never use nano particles or preservatives.
Q. DO THE ENGLISH MINERAL MAKEUP COMPANY’S PRODUCTS CONTAIN NANOPARTICLES?
We are fully aware of the health risks associated with using micronised raw ingredients, so no, we do not use them in our product. Also, all the raw ingredients that we use in our formulation have gone through the the EU Compliance process for “nanoparticles” to ensure they are not present.
Q. DO THE ENGLISH MINERAL MAKEUP COMPANY TEST PRODUCTS ON ANIMALS?
We never test our products on animals, all our products are cruelty free. We also purchase our minerals and all other products from suppliers who confirm and can prove that their products are also NOT tested on animals.

Q. DOES THE ENGLISH MINERAL MAKEUP COMPANY’S POWDER PROVIDE SUN PROTECTION?
Our mineral makeup contains Zinc Oxide, which is a natural barrier sunscreen ingredient. It works to block UVA and UVB rays, delivering broad-spectrum sun protection of at least SPF 15. However, mineral makeup should NEVER serve as your first line of defence against sun damage.
