History

Growing up in Dallas, makeup artist Mary Van spent a lot of time outside, in the hot sun. When she decided to launch her own makeup line, she had two requirements: the formulas would all be made from high-quality minerals, and they would all include sun protection. She launched Mineralogie in 2003 and has since wowed beauty lovers with products that keep skin both gorgeous and healthy.

Philosophy

Eco-friendly and nourishing. Mineralogie’s products are made of 100 percent pure, top-quality minerals. Packed with antioxidants, the formulas protect skin from the sun, pollution, and other environmental stressors. And don’t worry about any fillers —they’re all free of talcs, dyes, starches, and perfumes.
