Natural Mineral Make Up by Zenz Organic in Copenhagen

November 23, 2012 by Bianca Wessel

Anne-Sophie Villumsen is the founder of the eco friendly hair and beauty saloon in Copenhagen, Zenz. She has already developed a popular range of a Organic Hair Products and now just recently also a Mineral Make Up range in loose powder form, including foundation, blusher and eye shadows. See more at zenzorganic.com


What makes mineral makeup different from traditional makeup isn’t the ingredients it contains, but what it doesn’t contain; preservatives, parabens, mineral oil, chemical dyes and fragrance. These are all possible causes of irritation, one reason many dermatologists recommend mineral makeup. Mineral make up is also know for being natural looking.



What do you think about Mineral Make Up? Would love to hear your thoughts and recommendations too!
