is cheap mineral makeup (e.g loreal) really good for your skin?

For the most part, a heftier price tag means you can rest a little easier about the ingredients. If your skin isn’t too sensitive, there’s nothing wrong with L’oreal — but Bare Minerals is a cleaner, healthier alternative.

This is such a massive issue all around the world and a big fight between manufacturers of ingredients, decision makers and congressional reps - ingredients that start out as “minerals” don’t end up as minerals but still called minerals. Also, organic doesn’t mean 100% organic anymore. There is no way to tell what is real and what isn’t anymore, unfortunately. The only thing we have left is to compare the colors to colors found in nature - if the colors closely match, chances are you have something real, if the colors are too far away, then something in the process destroyed the efficacy of the product.
It’s so ridiculous that it wouldn’t be surprising how many employees are paid to search places like this for info. on how to further the exploitation to the point we see nature being covered up in commercial colors all for some legitimate reason of course, a joke now could be something serious later - that’s the enomority of the manipulative language use going on to control people’s perceptions of products - we can all contact congress reps at congress.org and tell them to make clear labeling about how things are processed and to call ingredients something else after being processed as well as labels to indicate the differences between international markets, products made for this country are different than the same company making the “same” products elsewhere.
