response from Bare Minerals re micronization by: Anonymous
This is the answer I received today from Bare Minerals in response to my asking if the company uses micronization or nanoparticles:
"When we mill our bareMinerals, we do so using a process called micronization. This is an extremely precise technique, and all of our products are milled to a particle size of 10 microns or higher. This is a coarse particle size, and it cannot be absorbed into the pores or skin. bareMinerals does not utilize nanoparticles in our products, nor have we ever. We keep up with routine testing both independently and through the FDA to ensure that our products are precise and consistent, and each batch of our bareMinerals does undergo microbiological testing to ensure this as well."
