Most women know that every supermarket carries aisle of basic makeup and skincare that anyone can toss in their cart in a pinch.

If you're like this scribe who really cares what she put on her skin, as well as what she puts in, Whole Foods also carries "basic and wholesome" makeup and skincare lines that the average shopper can toss in their basket or cart.

One of these "basic and wholesome" beauty lines is Mineral Fusion.  Always reliable Mineral Fusion, best known for their nail polishes.

Most folks know it for their powdered sunscreen in a tube, with a brush, that anyone can dust on while dashing on the go.  Thank god, it's their basic, from which their skincare and makeup grew from.

Still, Mineral Fusion has a bunch of stand-out skincare and makeup that deserves to be tried and used everyday.

A true sign of innovation responding to customers' busy, healthy lifestyles, skincare and beauty brands have come up with cosmeceuticals, where skincare intersects with makeup, like Mineral Fusion's new line-up of primers.

If you want to go beyond traditional moisturizers, Mineral Fusion's Hydrating Primer fills in lines, nourishes skin, and evens tone and texture creating a smooth canvas for makeup application.  At the same time, its Nutrient-replenishing Mineral Water softens and hydrates skin while providing essential moisture to skin cells.  Think of this as a light-weight choice to heavy creams for folks with combination complexions.

Their Mattifying Primer not only soaks up the grease and prevents pollutants from clogging up the pores, it also has natural antioxidants and their wrinkle fighting, collagen-boosting peptide help minimize the appearance of fine lines.  Great for those in-between Middle-Agers who are now suffering from both wrinkles and adult acne.

Again, if you're searching for a cosmeceutical quick-fix, basically makeup with benefits, Illuminating Primer luxurious formula fills in lines, brightens, illuminates, and evens tone and texture creating a smooth canvas for makeup application with spreading radiant gold flecks create exquisite, subtle illumination and the perfect hint of shimmer.  It also fights wrinkles with natural antioxidants and collagen-boosting peptides.  

For those with sun and age spots...and crinkles and wrinkles, Illuminating Primer has Vitamin C and Orange Fruit Oil naturally promoting radiant, brighter, and more even skin tone.  Again, another bonus for Middle-Aged Gen-Xers battling in-between skin of pimples and age spots.

While sticky, sweaty Summer upon us soon, we yearn for things light-weight and refreshing, leaving the heavy moisturizers behind in Winter and best saved for Fall.

Mineral Fusion's Hydration Mist is spray-able Shea Butter with Hyaluronic Acid, delivering refreshing hydration that minerals love. Mist skin to set foundation or throughout the day as needed to refresh skin with a burst of instant hydration.

Age-Defying Chamomile, White Tea, Burdock Root and Sea Kelp soothe and nourish while defending skin against free radical damage.

Another Mineral Fusion item that tackles middle-aged Gen-Xers' quest in staying relevant and younger, their SPF 16 Age-Defying Treatment Serum's Alpha Lipoic Acid, natural antioxidants, and our powerful wrinkle fighting, collagen-boosting, dual-peptide blend help firm skin and restore natural radiance, can be layered on first then dusted with their powdered sunscreen as fortified daytime makeup.

Broad spectrum mineral SPF defends against sun damage and premature signs of aging. Shea Butter provides lightweight moisture and helps improve skin’s texture and elasticity.

A lot of all-natural beauty companies has the basic wash and soothe line-up of shampoos and conditioners but most don't have beauty balms for hair.

Mineral Fusion's Hair Repair Beauty Balm Leave- in-Treatment to style, hydrate, and protect hair in one simple step, can be used on wet hair as a leave-in-conditioner or on dry hair as a styling cream.

Moringa Seed and Mongongo Kernel plus Sea Kelp help repair damaged hair by coating every strand with rich nourishment to prevent breakage.
