About

Welcome to Mineral Silk! I'm De Nelson, the founder of this natural beauty brand that started back in 2004. My journey began out of a personal need. After years of struggling with heavy makeup that irritated my skin, I stumbled upon a revolutionary mineral powder foundation, thanks to a friend's recommendation. This discovery was a turning point for me.

As a mom with a tight budget, I was initially hesitant about the powder's price - $45.00 for a tiny 8-gram jar seemed steep. However, the results were astonishing. It didn't just cover my acne and scars; it also soothed the redness caused by my rosacea. This experience sparked a curiosity in me to delve deeper into the world of cosmetic ingredients.

With my online business background, I had the opportunity to source these ingredients wholesale. After a month of trial and error, I finally crafted the perfect shade for my skin. The improvement in my skin's condition was remarkable. It was more than just makeup; it was a solution to the skin issues that had troubled me for years.

In the early days, there were hardly any mineral makeup brands online, but today the market is flooded with them. Many of these brands rely on private labeling, which means they rebrand pre-made products. This often results in repetitive issues like mismatched colors and skin irritation. But at Mineral Silk, we take a different approach. Every product is formulated, mixed, and packaged in Minnesota by us. I personally ensure that each batch meets our high standards, and I know every single ingredient that goes into our products.

Since the beginning, I've dedicated myself to creating foundations, blushes, concealers, correctors, eyeshadows, and skincare products that not only look good but also feel great on the skin. Our goal is to offer cosmetics that enhance your natural beauty and nurtures your skin. Thank you for choosing Mineral Silk, your natural beauty source.
