Afterglow Cosmetics

Afterglow Cosmetics:

The Afterglow Cosmetics line was developed out of a need for healthy color cosmetics that not only out-performed traditional cosmetics but were also natural and fashionable. Many women are sensitive to food, cosmetics and perfume. Many young women start using make-up at an early age to cover up acne but it seems to only make skin feel and look worse. It is simple to see at an early age the importance of washing food well, eating organic and avoiding pesticides. Yet, too often people never draw a straight line from this mode of thinking about food and caring for the body to thinking the same way about personal care products and the effect they have on the body both inside and out.

There have been other natural and mineral cosmetics already out there calling their products natural, but they still included objectionable ingredients like petro-chemicals, parabens and bismuth oxychloride. These alternatives also fell short in the color selection department. Instead of continuing the frustrating search for the ideal cosmetic line, Afterglow decided to create the solution. After creating some products, there was a quick realization that simply nothing else out there that could compare to the luminescent finish, gentleness and the quality of pharmaceutical grade and certified organic ingredients.

So in 2004 Afterglow Cosmetics was born. Afterglow works with some of the most innovative and creative chemists and other experts, developing new and exciting natural, organic and mineral cosmetics. Quality can be achieved naturally without the standard, and often toxic, petro-chemicals and synthetics found in traditional cosmetics. You can create naturally glamorous looks without sacrificing color palette or product effectiveness. Afterglow’s unique blend of minerals and natural pigments has been very carefully formulated with your style, health and beauty in mind.

How is Afterglow different from other mineral cosmetics?

All mineral cosmetics

are not created equal.

The majority of mineral cosmetics on the market are still heavily loaded with synthetic preservatives like parabens, dyes and fillers which may be harmful to your skin and health. Afterglow Cosmetics are free of synthetic dyes, paraben preservatives and free irritants like bismuth oxychloride.

A better blend. Many popular mineral brands include a natural ingredient in their formula called bismuth oxychloride. This ingredient, while natural, can produce a ‘glowy’, unnatural finish. This ingredient is also notorious for making the skin itch. We refuse to use bismuth oxychloride, paraben preservatives and synthetic dyes in any of our formulas.

Natural selection.

Not only do we choose the most natural and the safest ingredients, but we carefully select the source of those ingredients to ensure the purest product of the highest quality. This means triple jet milled, pharmaceutical grade minerals and pigments, as well as certified organic botanicals.

A new level of natural. Minerals are good for your skin but minerals infused with the age-defying properties of Certified Organic antioxidants like organic grape seedextract and organic pomegranate extract take Afterglow’s mineral cosmetics to a whole new level of natural beauty and botanical adornment.
