Australian,100% natural mineral make up cosmetics

Don't be sucked in by the advertising and the pretty, young teenagers you see on TV!

In researching for a comprehensive and quality 100% natural mineral make up range to stock at City Organics I also looked into those being heavily advertised on TV these days as possibilities. They all had unnecessary and even questionable cheap fillers. And when you go to their websites, the full ingredients list is not easy to find 

Then I discovered the Inika range and have not looked back since. I love using them, and so do our customers.

Inika mineral foundation powders, bronzers, blushes and eyeshadows contain NO FILLERS whatsoever, feel light on the skin and allow the skin to breathe.

 Considering $3000 p/kg is about manufacturers pay to buy the pure and refined non-nano sized mineral powder that is mined in South Australia, the price point of Inika is also very reasonable!

Kaolin (clay) for instance, which is used in Nude, is a tiny fraction of that price and is also drying to the skin as it sucks the oil from skin. It's a cheap although natural filler. Bismuth oxychloride a common ingredient in many brands can cause reactions in some people but once again it's cheap! 

We also have settled on other hand picked bits and piecs of other ranges to complement our range, but nothing is as comprehensive as Inika for colour and product range, brush quality, and performance.

And what I especially like about the mineral powders is that they are certified 20+ broad spectrum sunscreen. The zinc oxide in the finely ground rock (mineral powder) is the best sunscreen available and is used in natural sunscreeen products. The only problem when its in a cream base though is that you could easily stand at night on the road as a reflective light pole with the ghost like effect on your skin!! And yech! feels greasy and pasty too! 

And by the way zinc oxide etc is also healing to skin and we have found that people's skin improves with using this product as it does not clog pores and treats the skin naturally. A lot of skin problems, acne etc is actually caused or exacerbated by using pore blocking and toxic products.

Inika is: 

• An ethical Australian company and prioducts 
• Vegan
• Not tested on animals & 100% cruelty free
• A truth in beauty brand: guaranteed free from toxic ingredients

• As 100% mineral (colour) they are long lasting and a little goes a long way
• blends with the natural oils of your skin &/or dailly moisturiser
• As it does not sit on the surface of skin but blends in easily it does not accentuate wrinkles . And due to high mica content that acts to reflect light, also evens out skin tone hides or minimises blemishes, redness, broken capillaries etc 

We are pleased to be supporting such a quality, pure and ethical Australian and Australian made brand. 

So come in and check out the range and ask us to help you with colour matching for your skin tone.
