Other mineral cosmetics claim an SPF protection. Do Ada cosmetics offer protection as well?

What makes ada cosmetics last so much longer?
An avid golfer, Sharon Kinnier, company president, recognized the need for a makeup that complimented her life and set out to create that product. Realizing her objective, became the foundation of ada cosmetics and is the foundation upon which ada stands - makeup that is healthy for the woman with an active life. Ada cosmetics will endure hot and cold weather.
The foundation is water resistant.
I have tried several other mineral foundations. Each one left me too white or ashy, too dry, or with a gray tinge to my complexions.
Why are your foundations for African American skin tones so much better matched than the others?
Our foundations were created for all women of color using multiple shades and hues as models for testing these colors. It took a lot of work to get the formulas just right to give every complexion that clean beautiful look .
I normally do not wear makeup as I have very sensitive skin. What makes ada cosmetics different so that I can wear this?
Virtually no allergy risk. All products have been sensitivity tested. I am worried about chemicals and preservatives in my skincare as well as in my makeup. • Contains no talc or parabens. • Composed of inert minerals that cannot support bacteria. • Environmentally aware. - Doctor approved • No products have been tested on animals
I am not African American or generally considered a "woman of color".
I see that you have makeup for me. Does this mean I am now a woman of color?
Every shade is a color.
I have ordered the foundation samples and notice that I can wear more than one shade. I also notice people of different shades can wear the same foundation color. How is this possible?
Our foundations are designed to match undertones. These are the tones that you see just under your skin. We have several foundations that enhance people with yellow, red, green, and blue undertones. So people with the same undertones, though lighter or darker in complexion, may be wear the same foundation color. - In addition, because skin colors change seasonally and with changes in health and age, your foundation colors may change as well. I have skin challenges.
I realize the makeup will be good for my skin, but I think I should have additional skin care products. What do you recommend?
We have effective skin and hair care products to meet all challenges. -
How can I get more makeup?
We will be adding our retail outlets shortly.
