Has BE (bare essentials) Met its Match?

A Breath of Fresh Air, for your Skin!

If you have a drawer fill of half-used or expired cosmetics, you know the frustration that comes with trying product after product, only to be disappointed with the results. The fact is that nearly every oil, cream or mineral based makeup sits on the surface and suffocates your skin. Most of these products contain alcohol-based preservatives known to decrease oxygen leading to irritation and breakouts. Unfortunately, even water based cosmetics keep your skin from breathing. Dermacia is the first silica gel-based foundation to contain our exclusive Lycogel Complex with LYCD, a patented formula that allows your skin to breathe while delivering concentrated Oxygen to illuminate your complexion.

Dermacia Breathable Foundation is also transfer-resistant, so it won't rub off on clothes and it is water resistant for up to 90 minutes of swimming or working out. Dermacia Breathable Foundation also provides non-chemical SPF 15 for UVA/UVB sun protection. At last, you can live, work and play from morning to night without needing a touch up. Plus, every Dermacia product is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic so you get all the coverage you need without compromising the health of your skin.

Water, Isododecane, Butylene/Ethylene/Popylene Copolymer, Cyclopentasilox- ane, PEG/PP-20/15 Dimethicone, butylenes Glycol, Diocetyldodecyl Dodecaneodi- oate, Sillica, Methicone, polyglyceryl-4 lsostearate, Cetyl PEG/PPG- 10/Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Nylon-12, Sodium Chloride Iron Oxides, Saccha- romyces Lysate Extract, penoxyethanol Cyclomethicone, Quatemium-18 Hecto- rite, Methylparaben Butyparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Zinc, Vitamin A, C,E

Now, I have HORRIBLE rosacea. Horrible to the point that I get blisters on my face from regular makeup. Bareminerals, doesn't irritate me one bit, actually makes my skin feel better! Considering that I cannot pronounce most of the things in the last, no way is it going on my face.

I agree.

That is a problem that I have found with most cosmetics. They will say that they are non irritating, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, but in the end, they are still full of chemicals that clog you pores, burn your skin, and worsen any skin condition that you may be having. I am a firm believer that all the crap that I put on my face for years and years is one thing that is wrong with my skin now.

I spent 49 of my 50 years washing my face with water and Ivory soap and moisturing with Vaseline because I'm so ULTRA allergic to anything else on my face. Everytime I tried to use ANY cosmetic I ended up at the dermatologist.

Bare Minerals was the one and only product that did not break me out. I made a mistake buying a "faux" BE and broke out all over again. Not only does it not break me out, NO ONE knows I'm wearing any make up.

I got together with my family a few months ago and my sisters picked on me about being the only one who never had to wear any makeup. When I told them I did they nearly fainted. Not even my sisters knew I was wearing it. It makes my face look FLAWLESS.

I realize one product does not work for everyone but this one works for me! [/b]
