Can you increase the SPF level by applying additional foundations?
Yes, you can.

How is the SPF level of glominerals tested?
They are physically tested by laying minerals on the skin and measuring the penetration of UV in to the dermis. UV protective ingredient levels in the formulas are also tested.

How do we get the hair for our brushes?
No animals are harmed or endangered to create our brushes. Hair is attained through grooming the animals.

How do we get our colors?
Our pigments are derived from mineral mines all over the world. The rocks are pulverized into particles, and then sanitized so they can be used in the products.
We use: mica from India, titanium dioxide from US, Canada, Australia, iron oxides from India, ultramarines from Germany, manganese violet from Germany, Carmine from Spain.

What does triple milled mean?
It’s a process to create a more refined particle size that ultimately lays better on the skin for superior coverage. For example, think of how pebbles look in a glass jar vs. sand in glass jar. The sand looks smoother and more refined whereas the pebbles do not. Light is able to penetrate through larger particles, and is not able to do so when the particles are smaller. The same holds true for makeup that is not triple milled versus makeup that is. In addition, glominerals begins with the smallest particles available as a raw material—and then triple mill them.

Are our products considered water proof?
They are water resistant.

Does glominerals makeup contain talc?
Talc is the number one ingredient in traditional makeup. Talc is a filler or bulking agent. It clogs pores and suffocates the skin which can lead to acne, exacerbate rosacea and lead to other undesirable skin conditions.
We use pure rich pigments from the earth. This means less product needs to be applied to see more product on the skin. gl_minerals makeup will lay on the surface of the skin and allows your skin to breathe and function as though you are wearing nothing on your skin. It is more beneficial to wear gl_minerals than to wear nothing at all.

What is the best way to apply and wear mineral makeup?
The #1 complaint about mineral makeup is that is can look heavy. This is because people apply it the same way they apply product with talc. Using our brushes and doing multiple layers of sheer coats allows many levels of coverage. Brushes will alter the coverage of a product. The longer the hair is on a brush, the more sheer the product will be.
