Companies providing mineral makeup have been taking the original pure mineral form and cutting it with substandard ingredients, such as talc. Besides the fact that a constituent of talc is asbestos and breathing the minute particles is unhealthy for the lungs, talc is so fine and absorbent, it gets into the pores of the skin, sticks to the inside of the pore and when it becomes moist, it absorbs the moisture and expands. Guess what that expansion does to that pore in your skin! You’ve got it. It expands the pore and gets infected because oil and moisture get trapped inside and promote the growth of bacteria. Once the infection is gone, the pore is stretched open.
Now that the public is a little more knowledgeable about the damage talc can do to the lungs and face, these companies are adding other ingredients as fillers. Among these ingredients, which sound face friendly, is bismuth oxychloride. Bismuth clogs pores and damages the skin similar to talc. It has also been known to feel greasy and cause itchiness and rashes that force many people to discontinue use of mineral makeup.
