About Us

 

 

At BellaTerra., we provide all natural mineral makeup that is designed for even the most sensitive and susceptible skin types.

Our products are made with the finest finely-ground mica based mineral powders that do not contain abrasive impurities, preservatives, dyes, or harmful chemicals.

The light, airy feel of mineral makeup, as compared to the traditional heavy talc and oil based products, will ensure unadulterated elegance. We offer an array of products that will meet your everyday needs as well as for any special occasion.

One of the most common questions regarding the ingredients of our powders is concerned with an ingredient known as Bismuth Oxychloride.  Women are always asking why it seems to be such a frequent used ingredient in so many other brands of “mineral” cosmetics.  Bismuth is actually the by-product from refining copper and lead, as well as an assortment of other metals.

It is a very heavy material and holds a strong chemical resemblance to antimony and arsenic, which should not be put on the skin and has no positive reactions for your complexion and can actually clog your pores leading to such things as acne.  If in fact you do use a product with this ingredient, you will easily notice a very shiny appearance.

Our bodies are very intelligent and will naturally reject things that are toxic or displeasing.  As mentioned earlier, Bismuth Oxychloride is similar to arsenic and therefore it would make sense if your skin gets irritated or reacts to the makeup you’re currently using if the makeup you’re currently using contains this ingredient.  Many women complain of these exact reactions and upon switching to a mineral makeup that does not contain this ingredient their skin issues cease to exist.
