During earth week we wanted to shine a light on the beauty choices we make and why mineral makeup supports your skin barrier and microbiome.
Your skin is more than just a surface – it’s a living, breathing ecosystem. We believe makeup should do more than cover; it should care. And there’s no better time than Earth Week to reflect on what we put on our skin and how it impacts both our health and the environment
Your skin barrier: The first line of defence
Think of your skin barrier as your personal bodyguard. It shields you from environmental stressors, locks in essential moisture, and helps keep irritation at bay. When your barrier is strong, your skin feels calm, clear, and resilient.
But today’s beauty products can compromise that balance. Harsh synthetics, artificial fragrances, fillers, and nanoparticles often disrupt the barrier – leading to sensitivity, breakouts, and accelerated aging.
The skin microbiome: Your invisible skin ally
Just like your gut, your skin has a microbiome – a diverse community of beneficial microbes that support skin immunity and inflammation control. A healthy microbiome keeps your complexion balanced and glowing.
Unfortunately, many mainstream cosmetics include synthetic preservatives and additives that can interfere with this natural ecosystem. When the microbiome is disturbed, your skin may respond with increased sensitivity, inflammation, or a loss of its healthy glow.
Why mineral makeup is different
Our mineral makeup is made to work with your skin – not against it. Our formulas are free from harsh chemicals, synthetic dyes, and questionable additives. Instead, we use earth-derived minerals that are gentle, effective, and nourishing.
Here’s why it works:
– Non-comedogenic and breathable – won’t clog pores or smother your skin
– Soothing & calming – zinc oxide and titanium dioxide help reduce redness and irritation
– Physical protection – acts as a natural shield against environmental pollutants and sun
– Microbiome-friendly – supports the skin’s ideal pH and microbial balance
Clean, pure minerals = skin nutrition your skin can trust
Earth Week: A time to choose better
Earth Week is a reminder that beauty is not just what we wear – it’s how we choose what we put on our skin. The beauty industry produces over 120 billion units of packaging each year – most of which is non-recyclable and ends up in landfill.
Our clean beauty commitment extends beyond ingredients:
– Recyclable packaging
– Multi-use products to minimise waste
– Ethical sourcing and no animal testing
Our award-winning BB Crème, for example, was recognised for its eco-conscious packaging in 2024 – designed to protect your skin while treading lightly on the planet.
The Takeaway
Mineral makeup doesn’t just enhance your features – it honours your skin’s ecosystem and reflects your care for the Earth. During Earth Week, let’s make choices that feel good and do good. Nourish your skin barrier, support your microbiome, and protect our planet – one beautiful ritual at a time.
Clean. Conscious. Connected.
