They strongly recommend using mineral foundation bismuth free brands.  (Physicians also recommend mineral foundation without mica, but that’s for a later article)

The reason behind using bismuth free mineral foundation makeup is mainly due to the particle shape (jagged edge) of bismuth oxychloride, aka bismuth.  Without going into details the normal consumer might not understand, we’d like to point you to information on what bismuth is, so you can read up on minerals, known in the real world as elements from a chemistry periodic table.  Remember that minerals may be the term to describe the powder face makeup such as bare minerals, but it’s factually layers of the earth, bareMinerals calls it soil, it’s really just dirt if it’s soil.  It’s rather doubtful anyone wants to be known to wear dirt of their faces, or soil, so why would a company as large as Bare Escentuals use the term: Soil?  Because they can claim it means something important, and not disclose the factually ingredients, thus deceiving consumers that many not realize the facts on cosmetic ingredient labeling.

The bare minerals foundation, as well as Jane Iredale, Sheer Cover, and all other known mineral makeup brands using bismuth have an onslaught of customer reviews and complaints due to the bismuth oxychloride.  Bismuth is known to cause cystic acne, itching, abrasions due to the harsh buffing for necessary application.
