FSS Meteorite Powder
Background & Science:
FSS
Meteorite powder introduces the idea of using materials from out of space in
cosmetics. Products with Meteorite dust are certain to catch the attention of
the media who just love the concept of something very different yet completely
natural. FSS Meteorite powder can be included in to all types of personal care
products to add the image of uniqueness and ‘special strength’, just as
Diamonds are being used to convey the image of luxury. The fine Meteorite
powder is an excellent exfoliator. It is especially designed not to be gritty
but to feel smooth on the skin. It is grey to brown in color so it is very
suitable for mineral make-up.
Meteorites are shooting stars that have fallen to
Earth, entering our atmosphere at speeds of up to 72 km (45 miles) per second
and burning as exceptionally brilliant balls of fire. Surprisingly, it is
estimated that as much as 37,000-78,000 tons of meteorite land on Earth per
year, but most of these meteorites are dust-sized particles. The larger
meteorites are hard to find, which is why they remain very special. Meteorites
are hard rock with unique lenticular internal structures. The best time to see
shooting stars (and perhaps even see a Meteorite land) is on a dark moonless
night at around 4:00, when the Earth is orbiting towards particles left behind
by comets. You do not have to be superstitious to think it is very lucky to
find a meteorite. Traditional healers believe Meteorites are gifts from other
Worlds. They use them for their vibrant other-worldly energy. Meteorites are
also associated by healers with giving order to a chaotic situation. They have
been use to break old habits and cure phobias, to assist spiritual growth,
enhance psychic abilities and to connect with beings from other realms.
Benefits:
FSS Meteorite powder is very stable. It can be easily incorporated into formulas for skin care, hair care and color cosmetic products. It is recommended for all types of personal care products but especially for Men’s grooming where its image of ‘uniqueness’ and ‘special strength’ compliments the image that precious stones give for prestige ranges aimed at women.
