Are there mineral make up ingredient substitutes?

I want to make mineral make up but i dont think i will be able to find the ingredients easily.Are there any substitutes for these ingredients?I want to make bronzer and finishing powder.





Ingredients/materials needed for making bronzer:





Micronized Titanium Dioxide


Bismuth Oxychloride


Sericite Mica - Pearl


Magnesium Stearate


Yellow, Red %26amp; Brown Iron Oxide Pigments


Jojoba Oil


Vitamin E Oil


Essential Oil


Mortar %26amp; Pestle or Magic Bullet





Ingredients for making finishing powder:


3 parts Sericite Mica - Matt


1 part Corn Starch


1/2 part Boron Nitride


1/2 part Zinc Stearate or Magnesium Stearate


pinches of Sparkle Gold, Pearl Pink, %26amp; Bronze Mica powders








thank youAre there mineral make up ingredient substitutes?
coastal scents or DIY cosmetics have the required ingredients: www.coastal scents.com or www.diycosmetics.com





Most starches, Surfactants, emulsifiers %26amp; stabilizers are interchangeable i.e starch: rice flour can be substituted for corn flour.





Be careful when mixing the formulations %26amp; wear an ear loop mask so you don't inhale the micro particles from the various powders you are mixing, probably give the bismuth oxychloride a miss also as from memory something like 70% of women have reactions to it (anything from small red spots to a full blown nasty rash) %26amp; it clogs your pores.
