What are Mineral Ingredients? & Why Does You Skin Love Them?!

Mineral makeup has taken the beauty world by storm — and for good reason. But what actually are mineral ingredients? And why are they better for your skin?

At Runway Room, we’re all about clean, nourishing formulas that perform like a pro, and mineral-based products are a big part of that. Let’s break it down.

So, What Exactly Are Mineral Ingredients?

Mineral makeup is made from naturally occurring minerals that are ground into a fine powder and used as pigments or bases in cosmetics. Think:

  • Zinc Oxide – Soothes irritation and provides natural sun protection

  • Titanium Dioxide – Brightens the skin and offers SPF properties

  • Iron Oxides – Give products their colour (without the synthetic dyes)

  • Mica – Adds natural luminosity and glow

These minerals are typically free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and parabens, making them ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

Why Mineral Makeup Is a Skin-Lover’s Dream

💖 Gentle on Skin
Mineral ingredients are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores. Perfect for breakout-prone or mature skin.

🌿 Natural Radiance
Forget cakey finishes — mineral foundations and bronzers melt into the skin for a luminous, breathable glow.

🌞 Built-In Protection
With ingredients like zinc and titanium dioxide, many mineral products offer a natural SPF boost (but don’t skip your sunscreen!).

💧 Lightweight but Buildable
Our mineral base products are weightless on the skin but pack a punch when it comes to coverage and staying power.
