GLO MINERALS®

GlomineralsThe Ancient Egyptians were the first to document the use of earth materials for protection from the sun and to signify their social class, the use of heavy black around the eye area provided protection and also reflection from the suns strong rays.

The minerals they used were ores of lead known as galena, zinc, titanium dioxide and iron oxide, mica was also used as a decorative glittery effect. The ore Galena was the first used to protect the eyes from the desert sun, flies and evil spirits. As time passed the multiple benefits of mineral make up came to light, e.g. it was found that zinc not only protected the skin from the sun but also healed wounds and burns.

The 1970’s brought to the attention mineral make up, people began to realise the benefits of natural ingredients. From ancient times to middle-ages, lead and arsenic were used to lighten the complexion. Science has played a major role in cosmetics in the last decade, as cutting edge ingredients are offering anti-ageing miracles and flawless beauty.

Established in 2002 Glo Minerals® has maintained the integrity of the past and promise of the future, using only pure, pharmaceutical grade minerals and anti-oxidants we bring the evolution of beauty full circle. Just like our ancestors Glo Minerals® focuses on protection above all else, and beauty, with a higher purpose.
