Inika Liquid FoundationCosmetics have come a long way since they were used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans when many contained dangerous ingredients.

Whitening the face was popular from the 1400s onwards when a mixture of carbonate, hydroxide and lead oxide was comomonly used – leading sometimes to muscle paralysis or death! Zinc oxide replaced this mixture in the 1800s and then Coco Chanel made having a tan "de rigueur" in the 1920s.

We've come a long way since then and the newer mineral cosmetics are becoming increasingly popular. The first one I used was a powder base that gave me rather an odd "set" look. However I was keen to try the new Liquid Mineral Foundation from Inika. As the foundation acts like a moisturiser as well, it is great to apply and the matt finish is just what I'd wish for. Even better it is certified organic, not tested on animals and suitable for vegans.

Inika has aloe vera as a base (rather than water or oil) and is 95 per cent organic.  It's nourishing, packed with vitamins and green tea as well as macademia nut oil, pomegranate oil and new ingredient tomanu oil amongst many others.

At £25 Inika Liquid Foundation is competitively priced  for a premium product and comes in four shades available from www.inikacosmetics.co.uk
