...and what it could be doing to your skin! If you're a cosmetics fanatic or just a casual make up user you've probably heard of the ingredient bismuth. However, it's come to my attention that not many make up lovers really know what it actually is or the effect it has on the skin.

The truth is bismuth is an ugly filler that is chemically connected to arsenic and is much more popular than you think! You could have this damaging heavy metal element on your face right now! Here we expose the shocking truth about bismuth and how you can avoid it by using Australia's favourite natural make up brand Nude by Nature.

What is Bismuth?

Bismuth Oxychloride is a naturally occurring very heavy element found in nickel, tin and silver that's primarily used to manufacture metal by-products. What may surprise you even more is that bismuth resembles arsenic chemically, yet it is commonly found in many cosmetics! That's some heavy metal make-up!

How can you tell?

Bismuth has a very soft, silky feel when rubbed between your fingers. In cosmetics, bismuth is considered a pearlising agent and produces a high shine and gives you an unnatural glowing metallic finish that is white in colour with a slightly pink hue. Many women find this strange 'glowy' finish ugly, anyway! As it's a very heavy element, this makes it difficult for many people to wear. It has to be forced into the pores via a buffing technique; otherwise it will slide off the face. Although many mineral make-up brands use this technique, not all contain bismuth. In fact, Nude by Nature is one mineral make-up brand that is proudly bismuth free!

What is it doing to my skin?

Many women will experience itchiness when wearing products containing bismuth, most noticeably when they sweat.This can often lead to nasty rashes and severe acne. Also, we can't forget it is also akin to arsenic. If you'll get sick from ingesting arsenic, it would make sense that your skin would get irritated from having arsenic forced into it through an in superior mineral make-up brand that uses bismuth!

Why do some mineral make-up companies use it?

Many cosmetic companies use bismuth because it hides flaws, adds a radiant glow to the face and is a dirt-cheap filler! It also has binding qualities, so the make-up will "stick" to your skin and last all day! But you don't need to put arsenic on your skin for a lasting finish! Nude by Nature's award Mineral Cover Powder Foundation will stay ALL DAY without the use of harmful chemical fillers.

How can I avoid the damaging effects of bismuth?

Unfortunately, many women are attracted to mineral cosmetics due to their reputation for being good for sensitive skin, yet they use a brand that contains bismuth and are then turned off mineral make-ups forever! Some mineral make-ups claim to be "all natural" because bismuth is a natural compound, but never tell their users about the dangers of it! Go ahead, Google the top mineral make-up brands! You'll be surprised just how many of the big names contain bismuth and other skin irritating fillers such as talc!

Nude by Nature is all Naturally Derived and 100% bismuth free! You know you are getting a Bismuth-free product with Nude because of the lighter feeling powder that usually blends into the skin better and with less effort! You get the real benefits of mineral make-up without the damaging side effects of toxic fillers. With Nude we guarantee there is no cruelty to animals, no bismuth oxychloride, no irritation, and no worries.

There is really no mineral make-up better for your skin! And if your thinking this is as good as it gets, we have news for you! Not only have you just discovered that Nude is the best mineral make up Australia has to offer, you can also get the best 100% naturally derived skincare and body range available. We pride ourselves on providing you with the best cosmetic and skincare range to keep the nasty chemicals and toxins away from your precious skin!

Bismuth has had a history with ceramics. The compound is used as glaze on ceramics, giving that shiny and metallic look on ceramic designs. How is it made? That's where bismuth oxide comes in. The bismuth oxide is derived from the ignition of bismuth nitrate, which thens gives off that unique glaze on the ceramic design.

# data[].attributes.body
https://digitalfire.com/material/bismuth+oxide

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Alternate Names: Bismuth(III) oxide, bismite, Bismuth trioxide

Notes

Bismuth oxide is derived from the ignition of bismuth nitrate which in turn is obtained from the heavy metal bismuth (found in the US, Peru, and Mexico). Bismuth is very similar to lead, however there is no evidence that it is toxic. In fact, it is used in medicines taken orally for stomach complaints.

Bismuth oxide very expensive (maybe twice the price of even tin oxide)! Thus it takes a lot to justify its use. It rivals the brilliant gloss and durability and hardness of lead in many glazes, though not all (no other material can make that claim).

Because bismuth is such a powerful flux, often very little is be needed (5% or less) to impart better melting to a glaze, in these cases it should not overly affect the oxide balance. However much larger amounts may are used for special purpose glazes, bismuth makes it possible to use highly desired material combinations and color systems that would not otherwise melt well enough using other fluxes.

Since bismuth melts a low temperature, its use in higher temperature glazes runs the risk of vaporization of some of the material. This is, of course, is dependent on time and temperature. At the same time, its ultra-low melting temperature makes it possible to produce a glass that melts at 400C (if you are willing to pay for recipe containing 90% bismuth).

Bismuth subnitrate is an alternative source, but it only sources 75% of the actual oxide by weight yet its cost as a material may not be any less.

Using bismuth it is possible to create very low melting glasses (or glazes). But a very high percentage is required. And bismuth is expensive.

Generic Material
Generic materials are those with no brand name. Normally they are theoretical, the chemistry portrays what a specimen would be if it had no contamination. Generic materials are helpful in educational situations where students need to study material theory (later they graduate to dealing with real world materials). They are also helpful where the chemistry of an actual material is not known. Often the accuracy of calculations is sufficient using generic materials.

Bismuth trichloride Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Bismuth trichloride is white crystal and crystalline powder

Physical properties

Yellowish-white crystalline solid; cubic crystals; hygroscopic; density 4.75g/cm ³; melts at 230°C; vaporizes at 447°C; vapor pressure 5 torr at 242°C; reacts with water; soluble in acids, alcohol and acetone.

Uses

Bismuth chloride (Bi ³⁺ + 3Cl ¹⁻ → BiCl3) reacts with water to produce what is known as "bismuth white" pigment.

Uses

Bismuth trichloride used as catalyst for organic reactions.

Uses

In the manufacture of other bismuth salts; as catalyst for organic reactions.

Definition

Bismuth trichloride is a white deliquescent solid. It can be prepared by direct combination of bismuth and chlorine. Bismuth(III) chloride dissolves in excess dilute hydrochloric acid to form a clear liquid, but if diluted it produces a white precipitate of bismuth(III) chloride oxide (bismuthyl chloride, BiOCl): BiCl 3 + H ₂ O = BiOCl + 2HCl This reaction is often used as an exam ple of a reversible reaction and as a confirmatory test for bismuth during quantitative analysis. Bismuth(V) chloride does not form.

Preparation

Bismuth chloride may be synthesized directly by passing chlorine over bismuth. Alternatively, the chloride salt may be prepared by adding hydrochloric acid to basic bismuth chloride and evaporating the solution:
Bi(OH) ₂Cl + 2HCl → BiCl ₃ + 2H ₂O
Also, the compound can be prepared by dissolving bismuth in concentrated nitric acid and then adding solid sodium chloride into this solution. Another method of preparation is treating the metal with concentrated hydrochloric acid:
2Bi + 6HCl → 2BiCl ₃ + 3H ₂.

Purification Methods

Sublime the trichloride under high vacuum, or dry it under a current of HCl gas, followed by fractional distillation, once under HCl and once under argon. It is deliquescent. [Schenk in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol I p 621 1963.]
