How stuff is made

pigment powders are mixed in with the base to give each balm it's unique color.

the first step is making a bare minerals powder. a technician makes a blend of titanium, mica, and zinc.

this blend is often mixed with red, yellow, and black until it's a perfect and precise CONSISTENCY and shade.

once the pigment is perfect, the formula is sent to the factory to be produced on a much larger scale.

a mixer is tasked with mixing an exact amount of powder to replicate the pigment in the lab.

the color needs to be transferred to a compounder for the pigments to come out.

the mixture turns from a light white to whatever shade it's meant to be.

before it's sent to the line for packaging, a worker must test the pigment to ensure that it matches the standard from the lab.

since the colors match, it can be sent to the line for packaging.

the finished foundation containers are polished and cleaned by a line worker to get rid if the excess powder.

almost seventy six thousand units of Bare minerals are produced in a day.

bare minerals comes in thirty different shades so everyone can rock their bare natural skin!
