EMANI mineral makeup takes its inspiration from minerals and inorganic pigments that exist in nature, which are finely milled and purified, then treated or coated with other pigments to create different colors and effects. Some mineral pigments are matte, some have a slight shimmer, and some are positively sparkling! These beautifully colored minerals, such as mica, titanium dioxide, zinc and iron oxides, and ultramarine pigments, can be used to make every cosmetic from foundation to eye shadow to shimmer powder for the body! Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, are anti-inflammatory and actually help calm the skin.
