Youngblood Mineral Makeup

Youngblood mineral makeup is formulated especially for women who suffer from severe skin maladies, including rosacea, acne, and scars from laser treatments, although some people find the ingredients may be irritating to sensitive skin.

Specifically, there is one ingredient called Bismuth Oxychloride which is added to some of their products. This ingredient can cause a severe red rash for some people with sensitive skin.

Pauline Youngblood Soli created this mineral makeup line with a heart for those who suffer from moderate to severe skin issues. Soli worked as a licensed medical aesthetician in Beverly Hills.

She quickly realized that women suffering with rosacea, severe acne, chemical damage from laser treatments, and other skin issues wanted and needed a makeup that would allow their skin to breathe, heal, and look natural.

This first-hand knowledge inspired her to create a full line of mineral cosmetics for just that purpose. Youngblood cosmetics are now one of the best selling mineral makeup products on the market today. They use only the highest quality minerals so you can enjoy flawless beautiful coverage.

Cautions for Women with Sensitive Skin

Any woman who has sensitive skin knows that even top-quality cosmetics and skin care products could contain ingredients that could potentially cause itching, redness, and overall irritation.

What ingredients should you look for?

Titanium dioxide is a natural mineral, but is one ingredient that seems to irritate sensitive skin. Several Youngblood products contain this ingredient because of it is supposed to help protect the skin from sun damage.

The other ingredient to be on the watch for is Bismuth Oxychloride, a pigment often added to mineral makeup as a binder, which helps the makeup adhere to the skin. Some of Youngblood's makeup does contain this ingredient. Women with sensitive skin have found repeatedly that using products with this ingredient has caused their skin to turn red and itch.

Iron oxide and mica are two other ingredients often used in mineral makeup, but can cause irritation to sensitive skin. Make sure these ingredients, if listed, are toward the end of the ingredient list rather than within the first three listed.
