Key Benefits For all skin types Bi-Mineral Contour Complex promotes the three necessary stages of developing healthy, functional elastin Helps support skin elasticity and softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles

Source: Bluemercury

This product contains zinc carbonate. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

zinc carbonate 0.1% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might be helpful in reducing fine lines in wrinkles, especially if combined with magnesium aluminum silicate and malonic acid

Moisturizing

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, coco-caprylate/caprate.

dimethicone 2.2% - 3.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

glycerin 4.3% - 6.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

coco-caprylate/caprate 1.4% - 2.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin without creating a greasy texture

Evens skin tone
