Certified Aestheticians for Expert Advice & Beautiful Cosmetics

Lakeshore Vein & Aesthetics Clinic is an authorized Jane Iredale retailer with certified aestheticians and makeup artists.

The Jane Iredale Cosmetics are outstanding for the following reasons.

1. ETHICAL 
   No animal testing.
2. SUN PROTECTION 
   SPF 20 PurePressed Bases & SPF 20 Amazing Bases - Formulated with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, the minerals give instant, broad-spectrum, chemical-free sun protection. They also have a Very Water Resistant rating.
3. COVERAGE 
   Apply with a brush or a sponge for coverage that it would normally take three products to achieve. The result should look sheer and luminescent and feel weightless.
4. NON-COMEDOGENIC AND OIL-FREE 
   Under a microscope, the mineral crystals look like overlapping fish scales. These crystals form a filter that allows the free exchange of gasses. The minerals are non-comedogenic. Acne patients claim an improvement in their skins since using the mineral makeup. The only oils uses in our formulas are in specific products to help condition the skin - such as in the under-eye concealer and lip products.
5. MINIMUM ALLERGY RISK 
   Allergies and sensitivities are usually caused by substances that cause irritation to the skin. Reactions are particularly common in skins that have been compromised in some fashion through, for example, a weakened immune system, sun damage, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, etc. Substances that most commonly cause these sensitivities are chemical preservatives, chemical dyes (usually labeled as FD&C), perfume and alcohol. Iredale makeup contains none of these sensitizers. In fact, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are anti-inflammatories and may help calm the skin. All of the products have undergone sensitivity testing in an FDA-approved laboratory with zero sensitivity recorded.
6. SENSITIZERS 
   All the individual Material Safety Data Sheets of raw materials in the powder bases support that irritation, burning and stinging of the skin are not caused by the ingredients. Further, processing does not result in any chemical change in the raw materials, so the reaction of the mixed ingredients remains the same as the individual ingredients. Iredale has eliminated from the powders all perfume, chemical dyes and chemical preservatives. These are the top three sensitizers.
7. FD&C DYES
   When the letters FD&C precede a color, it means that the color has been approved by the US FDA for use in foods, drugs and cosmetics. When D&C precede the color, it signifies that it can be used only in drugs or cosmetics. FD&C dyes are derived from petroleum or historically coal tar; some are also synthetic.
8. CONCENTRATED PIGMENT (COVERAGE)
   The word "pigment" usually means a colored or white compound that is insoluble in a solvent. (The word "dye" generally refers to a chemical compound, most often of petroleum origin, which is soluble.) Jane Iredale pigments are made from micronized minerals only.
   The reason the powders work so well as a natural-looking beauty makeup and/or a camouflage is because the concentrated pigment not only masks color but interacts with light to create a soft-focus effect that creates an illusion of perfection. A small amount of the minerals will cover most types of redness including acne, rosacea and erythema (redness).
9. ADHERE
   Because of the micronization process the mineral particles undergo, they bind together on application. When applied to a clean, moisturized skin the surface tension this creates overcomes gravity and holds the minerals tightly to the skin. The result is that they resist running, creasing and smearing and will only come off with a cleanser or the Iredale Magic Mitt. No special cleanser is required.
10. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
    Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have anti-inflammatory properties and will help to calm erythema. Zinc oxide is also anti-microbial.

Jane Iredale is often compared to Glominerals and generally considered to be as good or superior.
