Introducing our new all-natural & organic mineral mascara! After many requests to find the perfect natural macara & unable to find one out there that both performed well, was affordable, & was all-natural, we decided to create one ourselves!!

Our new mineral mascara has no tar, no synthetic fibers, & no parabens. We use only all-natural, vegetable based emulsifiers & pigments.

Now available in Ebony (black) & soon to be available in brown/black. Offered at just $15.50!

Being as we have recently introduced our popular Erth Paraben Free Moisturizer, I thought it would be a good idea to explain why we feel that our products being paraben-free is important.

Though still an extremely popular preservative used in about 85% of beauty & personal care products, in 2004 the Journal of Applied Toxicology reported that parabens had been found in the cancerous breast tissue of several women who had recently had breast cancer. It is now believed that parabens act much like the female hormone estrogen, which in high levels can cause some women to develop breast cancer.

For this reason we have searched long & hard to find not just any paraben-free moisturizer, but what we feel is the most luxurious & affective moisturizer on the market.

A mix of moisturizing essential oils, soothing aloe vera, & healing organic herbs blend together to give you all of the things you demand from your moisturizer, with none of those things that you don't!

Just wanted to add some information to clarify what exactly goes in to our mineral makeup.

Of first note, all of our makeup is manufactured/mixed, packaged & sealer in our lab. This means that we do not purchase from a supplier & therefore know exactly what's in our product. Because batches are also hand-crafted, each batch is tested against our color chart to verify match.

To list the most important, here are some of the ingredients that our NOT in our mineral makeup:

talc- absolutely no talc is used in any of our mineral makeup

bismuth oxychloride- used by many "leading" mineral makeup companies, we have chosen not to use this filler due to concerns over skin irritation

nano-particles- as our earlier blog entry notes, we use no "nano-particles" due to concerns over inhalation & lung health

parabens &/or sulfates- not used

Hope this helps answer some of the many questions we've had with regard to this issue.

Erth Minerals has recently discontinued the use of zea mays (corn starch) in our 2.0 & 5.2 foundation formulations.

Although we appreciate zea mays for the smoothness it adds to mineral makeup, we feel we can use other alternatives to achieve the same results.

Erth Mineral Makeup has recently introduced our sample kit in global colors for African American & Asian women called Kit B.

Our new colors have been developed with the help of our clients & after much time in research & development.
