The most beautiful cosmetic you can wear is a healthy skin.
That's why everything we develop is a true extension of skin care.
Our micronized mineral makeup is not just a refinement
of normal makeup; it is a new technology.
So effective it is recommended by
plastic surgeons, dermatologists and skin professionals.

Why Minerals
Jane Iredale's "Beauty with Benefits" combines the most up-to-date colors with skin-care benefits that conventional makeups can only envy:

* Non-comedogenic, will not block pores
* Virtually no allergy risk
* Broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection - up to SPF 20
* Anti-inflammatory, helps to calm and soothe irritated skin
* Very water resistant rating by an approved FDA lab
* Complete coverage for skin conditions like acne, rosacea and redness following treatments like chemical peels and laser resurfacing
* Contains no fillers
* Composed of inert minerals that cannot support bacteria
* Environmentally aware and not tested on animals

Known as The Skin Care Makeup, the Jane Iredale line is so safe and beneficial to use that it is recommended by Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists throughout the world.

Jane's line is a highly-sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments which are micro-pulverized, using proprietary technology and processes to form microscopic flat crystals. These crystals overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants. The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day. And because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise.

These state-of-the-art minerals are available in so many colors that there's one for every complexion no matter what the ethnicity.

Amazing Base®
Is made from micronized minerals, which have an SPF 20. Amazing Base is a concealer, foundation, powder and sunscreen all in one. Use it wet or dry. It comes packaged in a jar containing 10.5 grams with a sifter, a sponge and a gold lid. It is available in 10 colors, which are divided into cool, warm and neutral tones. The cool colors have a pink undertone and the warm tones a yellow. On the color chart they are arranged from light to dark.

Amazing Base is best applied with our chisel powder brush for normal coverage and with our pink flocked sponge for heavier coverage. You may also mix it into a moisturizer to make a cream foundation or with our D2O facial spritz for a liquid foundation.


PurePressed® Base
Is made from micronized minerals with the addition of antioxidants like pine bark extract and natural Vitamin E. It is slightly sheerer and more matte than the loose powders.

PurePressed Base is available in the same colors as the loose base (except for Cool Sand) plus eight darker shades ranging from deep gold to mahogany. It's packaged in a compact with a mirror and sponge. PurePressed Base is best applied with our Handi brush for normal coverage.


Liquid Minerals™
Our light-diffusing, soft-focus minerals are now encapsulated with ingredients that can replenish the cellular layers of the epidermis.

A boon for all skin types, Liquid Minerals™ makes skin look more youthful, diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, minimizes pores, evens out skin tone and adheres so well there is minimal transference. You can immediately see and feel the difference in the look and health of the skin


PurePressed® Matte Finish Powder
Use this under or over the mineral base to control oil and shine. Apply with a brush and touch up with the puff provided. There is no SPF in this product.


PurePressed® Blush and Eye Shadows
The only ingredients used in addition to those in the bases are the colorants, which are all inorganic except for carmine. All our eye colors are chosen to bring out and enhance the color and shape of the eye.

You can use the eye shadows wet or dry. You can also make an eyeliner or brow color out of them.


PureMoist™ LipColours and LipSheres
are made without chemical dyes, preservatives or animal products except for beeswax and carmine. An interesting statistic is that if lipstick is worn every day, the individual will consume two tubes a year. That is a lot of product over a lifetime, particularly since most will contain chemical dyes and synthetic preservatives.

Our lipsticks contain no perfumes. The reason many lipsticks are perfumed is to cover the unpleasant smell of post-slaughter products. Consumers are often sensitive to both. Our formula is extremely moisturizing and has sun protection from the minerals it contains.


PureGloss™ for Lips
Many lip products, especially glosses and balms, contain petroleum products. Petroleum draws moisture out of the lips and, therefore, causes them to dry and chap. Our glosses are in a base of white lily gel, which nourishes and moisturizes. They are formulated with a lemon-ginger flavor.


Lip Drink™ SPF 15
In a base of Macadamia nut oil (no petroleum), this lip balm is so moisturizing and conditioning it truly is a drink for the lips. Contains two sunscreen ingredients — Parsol 1789 and Octinoxate for broad spectrum sun protection. Delicious citrus flavor.


Lip and Eye Pencils
Made with conditioning oils and waxes and colored with our same protective pigments. Because we use no FD&C dyes, our pencils can be used anywhere on the face. They are perfectly interchangeable between eyes and lips. Their soft formula lends itself to blending and being used as a lip base. Apply a pencil base and layer with a lip gloss for a very current look.


Cream To Powder Eyeliners
Four trios of colors from a true black to jewel tones. This creamy formula is easily applied with our Eyeliner/Brow brush and can be smudged with the sponge end of the brush or with a finger. Once set, it will stay. Can also be used as an eye shadow or to color brows.


Lid Primers
Two colors, Canvas and Petal. These can be worn alone or with shadows on top. They will help those with oily eyelids to maintain their shadows without creasing. They also add a subtle highlight to the lid.


PureLash™ Mascara
A mild formula that contains no lacquers, shellac or petroleum-based products. It doesn't smear or flake and is water-resistant. We have excellent feedback from customers who have not been able to wear mascara for years because of allergic reactions. It is available in black and brown and is fitted with a hollow fiber brush. This is the most expensive brush on the market but it's worth it! It's straight and full, gives even coverage and separates the lashes.
PureLash™ Lengthening Mascara
Contains no lacquers, shellac or petroleum-based products. This mascara has the addition of wheat protein to condition and curl the lashes, and fibers to add length to the natural lashes. It uses the same hollow fiber brush as our original mascara. Available in black, brown and navy.



24-Karat Gold Dust
Contains 48% 24-karat food-grade gold. This luxurious gold powder can be brushed on eyes, cheeks and lips. Mix it with hair gel and work it into the hair or a moisturizer for the shoulders and décolleté. It shimmers on the skin rather than glittering. Now available in Bronze and Silver.


ONE-4-ALL™ Kits
Contains a triple eye shadow, two cream to powder liners, a half-moon of Complete Colour and two lip glosses. The double-ended brush can be used for eye liners and shadows. The three kits are designed in warm, cool and neutral colors. The kits are an ideal way of simplifying makeup application. Once the base is on, everything but mascara is available in the kit. Don't be afraid to mix the colors and make them uniquely individual.


Disappear™
This new camouflage cream is so packed with pigment that it will even cover black tattoos! Better yet, Disappear won't just cover breakouts but will also help them to disappear permanently. This new elegant, liposome-based formula contains seaweed extracts; superoxide dismutase, a copper-containing protein enzyme that decomposes free radicals; and the potent antioxidant green tea extract. Green tea extract isn't just an antioxidant but has also been documented to combat acne bacteria. It's patented applicator allows you to apply this with or without a brush.


Circle\Delete™ Concealer
An eye treatment as well as a concealer containing conditioners like jojoba esters and avocado oil, both high in vitamins A, C, D and E, green tea extract - a potent antioxidant, and vitamin K. Vitamin K is thought to help repair blood vessels that cause some dark circles as well as acting as a skin lightener. Apply with a camouflage brush.


CoverCare™ Concealer
We developed this camouflage for plastic surgeons to enable them to cover bruising on patients after facial surgery. But, we have enthusiastic responses from aestheticians who are using it to cover birthmarks, scarring, psoriasis, hyper- and hypopigmentation. It is a highly pigmented, oil-free cream which is easy to apply with a camouflage brush and won't come off while swimming.


D2O (Heavy Water)
Heavy Water (Deuterium Oxide) really is heavier. Its hydrogen molecule is twice the weight of the molecule in ordinary water, which makes D20 10% heavier than H2O. This is why it stays on the skin longer helping to hydrate and plump the cells. A must for post-laser! Some makeup artists believe that D2O is the quintessential last step in applying our makeup. Mix it with loose minerals for an exceptional liquid foundation.

Research has found that:

Heavy Water has a higher resistance to vaporization, which helps it stay on the skin for longer periods of time. It has more viscosity. This "thickness" gives it a higher "plumping" effect than regular waters. It bonds with the skin and other connective tissues more strongly than ordinary water, so the skin does not dry out as quickly or as deeply. It requires ten times as much energy to be ionized than regular water, which makes it more protective against ultraviolet radiation. It inactivates certain acne bacteria, making it an ideal moisturizing agent for blemish-prone skin.

Our Heavy Water contains additional ingredients like Shea Butter and Amino-guanidine to help soothe and condition the skin.



Balance™
This new hydration spritz was formulated specifically to help balance the skin's oil production and pH. It is packed full of ingredients that help to battle free radical and microbial damage.

In tangerine flower water, chamomile, myrrh and seaweed extracts calm, and feed the skin. Myrrh especially reduces inflammation, fights bacterial and fungal infections and improves skin circulation. Seaweed extracts help to reduce sebaceous hyper-secretion and regulate the pH of the skin. The added bonus to Balance is green tea extract. Studies have shown that green tea extract at 3% is measurably beneficial for acne-prone skin and that's the exact percentage we've used. Back-bar size.


Magic Mitt™
MAGIC MITT quickly and completely removes makeup using NO cleanser. This cleansing process promotes the health of the skin because it does not affect the skin's natural acid mantle. When this beneficial barrier is intact, it aids the skin in protecting itself from harmful and invasive bacteria.

It is made from a new generation of specially knitted micro-fibers many times thinner than a human hair. When wet they create a hydromechanical process that breaks the surface tension of the oils that bond makeup to the skin. This emulsion is then easily swept away by the mitt. It will even remove mascara! Gently exfoliates while it works.


The important thing to realize about this makeup is its versatility. It can be as simple or as intricate as you wish. Blend base colors together, use blush on eyes, lipsticks as blush, brow colors as hair touch-ups. It's being used on film sets and television, fashion photo shoots, in salons and spas, and by the most highly regarded physicians in the world.

This is what makeup should be. It beautifies the skin and makes it look younger; it assists in its overall health, and gives meaningful protection. Jane Iredale truly is the skin care makeup.
