Anonymous is incorrect. There are no chemicals additives in (most) mineral makeups that is how they market themselves as “natural”, however you will discover that not all mineral makeups are truly natural. There are two aspects to mineral makeup that experts warn about which you can read about here:<BR/>http://thegreenrabbit.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/mineral-makeup-warning/<BR/><BR/>As for your question regarding, inhaling the minerals it is only an issue if the mineral is micronized into micro- or nano- particles. However, we as consumers have no way of determining which products may be potentially harmful.<BR/><BR/>“Minerals like zinc and titanium are safe when applied to healthy skin but in a micronized nanoparticle form, there remains a concern, particularly when applied to damaged skin, or when inhaled." <BR/>From WebMD (link to the source at bottom of the link above)<BR/><BR/>Hope you find this helpful.<BR/><BR/>ps. Congratulations on leaving the “dark side”.

In case...Glad to see you stopped by my blog, Sarah! In case you are interested in making the Tortilla Lime Soup, I've tweeked it a bit by adding a bit of cumin and a dash of coriander. I've updated the recipe on my blog. About the mineral makeup, my 19 year old daughter wears it, and she said the same thing you did, it's a bit messy. I'll have to keep my ears open to see if it is dangerous.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117279224184283180noreply@blogger.com
