Mineral make up is very popular now but I am wondering how safe it is for the lungs. Would breathing that in every day be bad for you?Mineral make up - is it harmful to the lungs - asbestos effect?
Unless you or the manufacturer are doing something silly, it will not be a problem for the lungs. However, almost all makeup causes water pollution when you wash it off or remove it. Those ';minerals'; are naturally found in the ground, but not in the water cycle and things like barium and others have to be removed. So when you see any called ';eco';, read the claims. If they talk about natural from the earth, that is just bull. The only sustainable makeup is the makeup you never by. Also, manufacturing the materials causes pollution.Mineral make up - is it harmful to the lungs - asbestos effect?
Inhaling anything other than clean air is not good for lungs. Be careful not to inhale while you are dusting powder on your face. Take a deep breath and hold it while you are dusting with powder and take a step back after exhaling before inhaling. Every particle you inhale has to be gathered up by the mucus coating of your lungs and carried out by the tiny hairs that line your bronchial tubes. This system can easily be overloaded.
If the makeup is not suspended in the air, it is much lower risk for your lungs.

Asbestos is bad for you because it takes the form of microscopic thin fibers which embed themselves in the lung instead of being swept out by the mucus cleaning mechanism that handles ordinary dust. There are not short straight fibers of any kind in mineral makeup.
There are no ';asbestos effect'; minerals in mineral makeup. Why should there be? How could there be?
Breathing in lots of any kind of dust will be bad for you, but I assume you're not planning to sniff the stuff.
how wuld your nose suck up something on your face???,
