For those of you who are not familiar with Alima Pure, they are an all natural mineral makeup company based in Portland, OR. They use only pure cosmetic grade ingredients leaving out possible irritants such as bismuth oxychloride (found in Bare Minerals), talc, dyes, fragrances, parabens (a preservative), phthalates (known to cause some pretty harmful side effects) and preservatives. All of their products have BDIH natural cosmetics certification which is a prestigious German certification with a very comprehensive and strict set of guidelines. In a nutshell, they go beyond the European Unions ban of 1000 chemicals (FDA has only banned 10 =/ ) to ensure any of their certified products are completely safe. Soooo basically, Alima's products are TRULY all natural in a market where the term "all natural" is used quite loosely. They are also a cruelty free company and a member of PETA.
Anyways more about the line, I am amazed by their selection of foundations. If you are one of those gals who has a hard time finding the perfect foundation color... Alima has SIXTY different shades!!! They even have a program similar to Back to Mac where you return 5 of their full sized jars (in recyclable packing) and receive a free eyeshadow. They are a little more affordable than Bare Minerals and they offer samples in actual jars which is great. They also offer a point system where you earn 1 point for every $10 you spend and each point is good for a dollar off a future order. YAY! I love point systems.
