The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
bareMinerals began in 1991 in San Francisco, California. The founder was Leslie Blodgett, a chemist working with loose mineral pigments. They make mineral foundation powder, the core product. Blodgett built the brand on bare skin philosophy. No talc. No fillers. Just minerals. The loose powder foundation became their signature. It defined clean beauty before the term existed. Today bareMinerals operates globally, sold in major retailers. The brand ranks tenth in Beauty and Personal Care across 6649 tracked brands. They remain known for mineral formulations and the original loose foundation that started everything.
