What ingredients are in mineral makeup?

Well, I can't speak for every one, but here are mine:

Mica is transparent and allows for smooth makeup application. It also comes colored for soap making, etc.

Zinc Oxide is a skin healer, and water-resistant. It offers great SPF protection from the sun's harmful UVA/UVB rays. It is very soothing to the skin and helps heal acne.

Iron Oxides are minerals that are used to create color.

Ultramarine Blue is used in cool shades of makeup because there is no blue oxide.

Kaolin Clay is great for dry sensitive skin because it is very soothing, offers great coverage, and is able to absorb oil and impurities from the skin.
