Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Understanding What&#8217;s In Your Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #d40072;\">By Mika Holborow of www.mika-makeup.com, Beauty Contributor<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That magic bottle that you call your &#8220;holy grail&#8221; or &#8220;desert island product&#8221; or simply your\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">&#8220;go to&#8221; &#8211; but what&#8217;s actually in it? We women, almost instinctively apply our foundation\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">every day without a second thought as to what&#8217;s actually in it. We can spend a small fortune on\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">our makeup (somewhat easily), and when we are buying that prized bottle, how often do we\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">actually take note of the ingredients that are listed? Or does it all sound like a jumble of words\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">with only our vague understanding of the concept of an antioxidant?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The cosmetic industry is constantly evolving to create products that improve our skin texture by\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">introducing more natural elements to our makeup. We have come a long way in this\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">revolution since the days of using animal fat, mercury and lead to make pastes that would give a desired pale effect to the complexion. Nowadays you cannot visit a beauty counter without an assistant enthusiastically explaining the benefits of purchasing that product. And there is good\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">reason for brands to shout it from the roof tops. Behind the scientific names assigned to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">ingredient lists lies ingredients that attract moisture to the skin, protects the skin from\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">harmful rays reduces environmental stress on the skin and increases collagen production.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">And this is to only name a few. I mean, WOW! That is a lot of help our skin is getting!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s get down to the nitty gritty and breakdown some of those over complicated\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">nouns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. ANTIOXIDANTS <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although they are never spelled out like this on the label, they are\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">there, lurking in our foundations, waiting to fight damage caused by exposure to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">sunlight and the atmosphere. Does Tocopheryl Acetate ring any bells? Or maybe even\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">grape seed extract? Well, that&#8217;s those antioxidants in costume!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. HUMECTANTS\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are ingredients that draw moisture to the skin, so in short they\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">help our skin stay moist and hydrated. Often disguised as Glycerin or Butylene Glycol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. EMOLLIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are generally added to cosmetics to soften and smooth the skin\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">and are commonly found in not only foundations but also moisturizers and lipsticks.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">We&#8217;ve all heard of those pleasant-sounding ingredients such as coconut oil, olive oil\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">and cocoa butter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. MINERALS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh how we love the sound of mineral makeup! In recent years, brands\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">that market themselves as being strictly mineral-based are receiving unprecedented\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">popularity. However, some of those same ingredients such as talc that we are being\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">urged to avoid is in fact classed as a mineral. In general terms, mica is one of the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">most common minerals used in foundations, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bareescentuals.com\">Bare Minerals<\/a> products. But\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">remember beauty masters, products that claim to be mineral-based do not imply\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">that they are organic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. PARABENS\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Essentially a preservative that helps makeup last longer by increasing its\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">shelf life. Parabens are synthetic ingredients added to most popular makeup products,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">especially liquid foundations, to prevent bacterial growth. More recently, parabens\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">have come under increased scrutiny in regards to their safety in cosmetics after\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">traces were found in samples of breast tumors. However, no direct link between\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">parabens and cancer has ever been found so the jury is still out on that one. But\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">before we cast our judgement vote, we should also remember that parabens are also\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">found in lots of our everyday essential products.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Trying to achieve a healthy, glowing skin is surely what we all desire and if foundation is\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">what we use to safely get there, then I&#8217;m all in!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stay Conscious &amp; Chic!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/signature-black-and-pink.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5776\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/signature-black-and-pink.jpg\" alt=\"signature black and pink\" width=\"158\" height=\"57\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d40072;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mika_holborow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10886 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fashionwithaconscience.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/mika_holborow-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"mika_holborow\" width=\"162\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #d40072;\"><em><em>About Mika\u00c2\u00a0Holborow<\/em><\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #d40072;\"><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em>I am a professional makeup artist with 14 years of experience in the industry.

From working in the fashion industry in New York for many years, I was inspired to create a platform where members of the Conscious &amp; Chic community could not only find the tools they needed to journey towards a sustainable lifestyle but also shine by sharing their own content. Check out the #ConsciousNChic hashtag on Instagram! You can connect with me on social media @ConsciousNChic and @KathleenElie.
