| | Why Mineral based makeup?
At Aesthetica we use, recommend and sell Jane Iredale Cosmetics. Jane Iredale's "Beauty with Benefits" combines the most up-to-date colors with the following skin-care benefits that conventional makeups can only envy:
- Non-comedogenic, will not block the pores of your skin
- Virtually no allergy risk
- Broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection – SPF 20
- Anti-inflammatory, helps to calm and soothe irritated skin
- Very water resistant rating by an approved FDA lab
- Complete coverage for skin conditions like acne, rosacea and redness following treatments like chemical peels and laser resurfacing
- Contains no fillers
- Composed of inert minerals that cannot support bacteria
- Environmentally aware and not tested on animals
Known as The Skin Care Makeup, the Jane Iredale line is so safe and beneficial to use that it is recommended by Cosmetic Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists throughout the world.
The range is a highly-sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments which are micro-pulverized, using proprietary technology and processes to form microscopic flat crystals. These crystals overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants.
The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day. And because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise.
These state-of-the-art minerals are available in so many colors that there's one for every complexion no matter what the ethnicity.
How is Jane Iredale makeup different?
The most beautiful cosmetic you can wear is a healthy skin.
That's why everything we develop is a true extension of skin care.
Our makeup is not just a refinement of conventional makeup; it's a new technology.
Four in One Technology
The micronized mineral bases are concentrated pigment. This means that we use no fillers like talc to stretch pigment or dyes. (Pigment is defined as inorganic color insoluble in water,) as opposed to dyes which are organic (usually derived from petroleum) and soluble in water.
Because our bases are concentrated pigment, the coverage we can achieve is far superior to normal makeup with a minimum amount of product. This is why mineral makeup should always look sheer and natural. This concentrated pigment also gives us the high rating we achieve with sunscreen protection.
What about ratings...SPF and FDA
What is an SPF rating?
Sun Protection Factor (SPF) refers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approved techniques to assess the efficacy of a sunscreen in the Ultraviolet B (UVB) portion of the spectrum. An SPF rating does not measure Ultraviolet A (UVA) protection.
The textbook definition of SPF is the ratio of the time of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure necessary to produce minimally detectable erythema in sunscreen-protected skin to that time required to produce the erythema in unprotected skin.
A typical testing protocol is as follows: skin in a non-skin-exposed area, such as the buttocks or lower back, is covered with light-proof adhesive foil; 1-cm areas of foil are removed sequentially so that each area receives a defined dose of UVB. The following day, the patient returns to be examined and areas are assessed for erythema (redness).
What does this mean to me...
So, the SPF number gives you some idea of how long you can stay in the sun without burning. For example, if you normally burn in 10 minutes without sunscreen and you've applied a liberal dose of a sunscreen with an SPF number of 15, you should be protected from sunburn for 150 minutes. This does not mean that you are protected from other radiation damage. A broad spectrum sunscreen is required to give protection in the UVA range as well.
A very water-resistant rating is given if that same sunscreen still tests at the same SPF after being applied to human subjects and submerged in moving water for four 20-minute immersions. Our powders achieved an SPF 20 for the loose bases and an SPF 17 for the pressed. They all received a Very Water Resistant rating. Under the new FDA monograph, it is no longer permissible to claim a "Water Proof" rating.
What's the difference between a sunscreen and a sunblock?
Under the new FDA monograph the word "Sunblock" is no longer allowed. The FDA is trying to eliminate any confusion the public may have or sense of false security. However, the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in our bases literally block UV rays by acting like tiny mirrors on the skin reflecting and refracting the light.
Most chemical sunscreens have highly efficient absorption capabilities through the UVB, partly the UVA, and in some instances infrared wavelengths. Once the chemicals have absorbed their limit, the sunscreen ceases to be effective. (Absorption is the process in which light is "lost" when it falls on a material. The light is not actually lost, but is converted into some other energy, such as heat.) Not all mineral powders have an SPF rating. If they do, the SPF rating must be specified on the label.
