EnviroScreen® Technology is proprietary to Colorescience. EnviroScreen® Technology uses patented active ingredients, Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, which create a barrier preventing free radical formation and oxidative stress. These patented actives are combined with specialty ingredients that, together, work synergistically to protect skin from damage caused by exposure to UVA/UVB rays, pollution, blue light (also known as High Energy Visible, or HEV, light), and infrared radiation.

You're getting the protection from sun damage from the minerals, which will help to stop premature skin ageing as we discussed earlier, and there are numerous other natural and healthy ingredients in there. But we're not finished just yet – there are a few more healthy reasons why you should add mineral face makeup to your daily routine.

The mineral makeup palettes and products you see here at Colorescience are non-comedogenic, which means they allow your pores to breathe without blocking them up. This is great for anyone with acne-prone or sensitive skin, but it's also great for everyone else because nobody wants suffocated pores.

Another benefit is that the ingredients used are so natural and gentle that they can be used on just about any type of skin, including broken skin and rosacea, and even post-procedure skin. 

In fact, most dermatologists recommend this type of product for use after peels and other procedures because they are so confident that it will be gentler than traditional types of makeup and skincare that have been around in the past.

As mineral foundations are often formulated with finely ground natural minerals, they are often free from harsh chemicals, fragrance or additives which may contribute to skin irritation and allergies, making them ideal for sensitive, reactive skin types.
