Youngblood addresses Dr. Oz’s comments on mineral makeup

from Pauline Youngblood-Soli:

It was brought to my attention that a recent episode of “Dr. Oz” featured a segment about “dangerous” beauty. As might be expected, I was very interested in what he had to say after loose mineral makeup was named a top cosmetic “culprit.”

Let me assure you that there are no studies to support the claims made on this show. Most minerals are safe to ingest or apply topically; in situations where large quantities are present (e.g., manufacturing), a mask does help prevent pulmonary health risks.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the permissible exposure limit for minerals (such as mica and titanium dioxide) is based on continual exposure over an eight-hour period. The potential for overexposure while using powdered mineral makeup is improbable and negligible.

Youngblood’s Natural Mineral Foundation comes in a uniquely designed container that dispenses a precise amount — there is less flyaway and mess. The formula is also concentrated, meaning only a very small amount is needed. For those who don’t prefer loose powders, we offer a Pressed Mineral Foundation.

Our customers’ wellbeing is the reason why we research to find safe and effective ingredients to use in our products. We’re proud to say Youngblood does not contain:

* Fragrance
* Synthetic Oils
* Talc
* Parabens
* Artificial Dyes

Youngblood is an advocate for healthier lifestyles, including the use of our high-quality, skin-caring mineral products as part of a beauty regimen. I encourage you, as with any medical issue, to consult your physician if you have specific questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Pauline Youngblood-Soli
