Bacteria In Your Make UP

News stories regarding bacteria in your make up have begun surfacing again. Mineral make-up that is pure minerals cannot accumulate bacteria as the make up is inert rock and not susceptible to contamination the way some of the oils and compounds are in regular make up. Some make-up that is not the pure mineral makeup will contain preservatives to try to fight off the contamination and prolong shelf life. Mineral Makeup such as in the Virtual Facelift by Hada 
is designed with Makeup as Medicine, thus preservative free makeup that contains bacteriostatic mineral properties. So this makeup fights bacteria in two ways: less likely to ever be contaminated and as part of treatment regimen for inflamed skin.
