It is loose mineral powder. Glass beads, boron nitride, isononyl isononanote, cera carnuba wax, alumina, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, pathenol. May contain mica, CI 77163/bismuth oxychloride, CI 77891/titanium dioxide, CI 77491, CI 77492/iron oxides, D31391/2. Are these ingrediants bad to be inhaling?

Can you just ask the manufacturer what the particle size is or do they have a product sheet that spells it all out. Frankly, I don't think the cosmetic industry is very regulated so they could be telling you one thing and doing another for money. I want to know how do you find out about particle size of a product.

I used to be careful about not breathing as I apply it but, as you know, we all tend to get lax as time goes by in things like this. It does get everywhere. I quit smoking in 1999. I had a doctor in the early 2000's (pre 2004) tell me I was okay. I had escaped damage. Now, I have a touch of emphysema. Lung x-rays from last Friday. So, much for having escaped those years of smoking. I have to consider all possible culprits. I feel better reading this research. However, I have to know more and look more. Some additional sources would be welcome. I would rather err on the side of caution than damage myself further out of stubborn vanity. I’ve been using mineral powder for about 4 years.
