Pur Minerals Makeup Introduces New 4-in-1 Foundation Formula

Suzanne Prochaska, RN, BSN — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:15:56 +0000

Pur Minerals has recently announced a new forumation for their wildy popular 4-in-1 pressed mineral foundation. The new formula contains skin care additives – including a nonirritating retinol and ceramides. Purminerals says these ingredients were selected “to smooth away the look of lines, combat visible discoloration and encourage a brighter, even-toned complexion.”

In their press release, they site an eight week clinical study where the subjects reported an 89% increase in brilliance in four weeks and a 95% experienced a softer, smoother texture. 75% reported less skin irritation than they had before within six weeks and 88% reported less facial shine. At the conclusion of the study, 95% of the users felt their skin had a firmer feel and finish with less visible pores and 89% saw overall improvement in their skin tone.

In addition to an updated formula, the updated 4-in-1 also received an updated compact. The new one is Lucite with a silver embossed finish. It is available in 10 shades with a price tag of $27 – that is only a $1 increase over the original 4-in-1 (which is available).

I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled about this new trend of adding skin care ingredients to makeup. After years of having makeup cause me to break out (before I discovered mineral makeup), it is nice to know that the new formulas may actually help my skin. At least they are trying!

The new formula does not have an SPF number, the original has an SPF 15. With the retinol, you need sun protection, but mineral makeup has a natural, built in SPF provided by the Titanium Dioxide. In order to state an SPF claim, it has to be tested by an FDA approved lab and I assume that Pur Minerals is undergoing the testing and will add the SPF at a later date, once it has been approved.

Here are the ingredients for the new formula:
Mica, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Boron Nitride, Bismuth Oxychloride, Zinc Stearate, Magnesium Silicate, Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Mannitol, Sodium Gluconate, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Waltheria Indica Leaf Extract, Dextrin, Ferulic Acid, L-Lactic Acid, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Silica, Thioctic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Retinol, L-Ascorbic Acid, Ceramide 6 II, Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract, Vitis Vinifera/Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Tocopherol, Lecithin, Maltodextrin, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Skin, Glycerin, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, L-Glutathione, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hydrated Silica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aqua, Glucosamine HCI, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract, Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf/Stem Extract, Magnesium Carbonate, Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499). May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ultramarine (CI 77007)

And for comparison, the ingredients of the original:
Active Ingredient: Titanium Dioxide 8%; Inactive Ingredients:Mica, Boron Nitride, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Bismuth Oxychloride, Zinc Stearate, Magnesium Silicate, Magnesium Carbonate, Silica, Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), Tocopheryl Acetate, Iron Oxides. May contain: Ultramarines

I really love pur minerals foundation – I use it often – and it is what I buy for my 16 year old daughter to use. I can’t wait to try the new formula!

Pressed Mineral Foundation is becoming more and more popular in the beauty scene. Why? There are many reasons for the increased interest in mineral makeup including the fact that there are no synthetic or artificial ingredients. The organic, natural composition makes a persons skin feel fantastic while also deterring wrinkles. Better still pressed mineral makeup isnt loose meaning its less messy and easy for traveling.
