Bare Escentuals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer advertizes to be the next big thing in facial skin creams as it is able to greatly brighten skin tone and retain a firm texture, all without using harmful ingredients.

The key ingredient that allows for these reported amazing results is called RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex, an undisclosed conglomeration of substances which gives you the perfect amount of hydration through an electrolyte delivery system.

While the verbiage may sound ultra-sexy, let’s not get ahead of ourselves in recommending this product until we have taken a closer look at what Bare Escentuals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer has to offer.

Ingredients

As previously stated, Bare Escentuals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer’s main ingredient is called RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex. The main problem with this proprietary blend is that we don’t know the exact dosages that went into making it, and the ingredient list isn’t too clear on what goes in this. While it makes some excellent claims about what this complex is capable of, it would be both informative and comforting to know what makes this ingredient so great.

Pros

The consumer reviews were mostly positive, but none of them were positively ecstatic. There weren’t any reported negative side effects, and at $28 for 1.7 fluid ounces, it certainly remains one of the most affordable skin creams out there. But if you are looking for a product which demands to be purchased, used and adored, this probably isn’t it.

Cons

As previously mentioned, one of the most negative aspects to this product is the mystery which surrounds its main ingredient. We just wish that the makers of Bare Escentuals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer would be more forthcoming about its “miracle” ingredient, RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex.

Another mark against this particular skin cream is a number of consumer reviews which reported an unpleasant smell. This seems odd, especially considering that you rub this cream onto your face.

Conclusion

Bare Escentuals Purely Nourishing Moisturizer could very well be a great product, but it is impossible to tell because the ingredients are a relative mystery to us. If you are looking for a product that is affordable, safe, and effective, we suggest that you look elsewhere.
