What are your thoughts on mineral powders causing lung damage?

February 5th, 2010 | by admin |

I heard on Dr. Oz today that powders like Bare Essentials can cause lung damage because they are inhaled as they are put on, causing scarring of the lung. What do you think?

Thanks!
They said that the effects over 10 – 30 years could be damaging. I love my bare minerals and I don’t want to stop using it!

im not sure…maybe its true? ive heard mixed reviews on mineral makeup in general…i use dinair airbrush makeup and it rocks cause its all water based so its not bad for my skin…it covers everything and its amaizng….anywho…hope i helped in some way…=)

    Those makeups really dont have that many minerals in it. There are many things you inhale on a daily basis in your environment that damage your lungs long term than mineral makeup. With any new fad coming out, people will be there to find flaws about it.

    I don’t really think that they’re that harmful.
    There really isn’t that many minerals in the makeup.

    WOW, that’s pretty crazy. But I’m sure you have to inhale a ton of it before it does anything to you. People are always using scare tactics, just sad. I used to use that type of make up, but I could smell it on my face and it smelled like dirty pennies, so I stopped.

    Sounds like an old wives’ tale to me.

    larissa why you say its an old wives tell? more like an old mans tell.

    and i think that is utter cra*, if anyone wants to blame the makeup for lung problems they should try researching the stuff we breath in on a day to day basis-but they are too busy living in luxury with their undeserved money

    MINERAL MAKEUP GIVES YOU LUNG DAMAGE !?!?!

    Well,
    1) I think you’d have to inhale a pretty large ammount for it to cause the slighest bit of damage
    2) If that doesn’t kill you, something else will :P

    tbh when i read this i was pretty scared because i am currently using bare eccenstials, but then i thought you would have to inhale a lot to make it cause any kind of damage !!
