Tired of feeling like you can’t trust the makeup you apply to your skin every morning? Melissa Poepping certainly felt that way. On this episode of Drop of Inspiration, we’re speaking with Melissa, who started her own mineral makeup line and then sold the idea to Young Living to bring to life your new favorite mineral-based makeup: Savvy Minerals by Young Living ™. She discusses the frustration she used to have with other makeup products and how that inspired her to create Savvy Minerals.
Melissa also shares some fun ideas and inspiration for parents and daughters who are just starting out on the makeup journey. Savvy Minerals makeup is not tested on animals, and many products in the minerals makeup line are cruelty free and vegan friendly, so you can feel confident that you’ll get the highest quality created with standards you can trust.
Plus, Micaela Congino, Young Living product marketing manager over Savvy Minerals, is joining us to answer some of your most frequently asked questions about the new Savvy Minerals line.

Can we talk about the specific ingredients that are used in popular mineral brands that are not in Savvy, like talc, and why they aren’t in Savvy products. What makes these ingredients not worthy? Thank you! 🙂
Hi Jessica! Thanks for listening. A lot of the common ingredients in makeup can be bad for you and your skin. We suggest looking at the EPA’s “Dirty Dozen” list of chemicals that can be harmful; it applies to makeup too!

If you have any other questions about specific ingredients, we recommend searching those ingredients in databases like Pubmed to find studies that show their negative impacts.
I am so glad you are getting into makeup now. I have been trying to find a makeup that isn’t synthetically made. I can’t wait to try it out!!
How can I get some samples to see what shade I need to use.

Will you be coming out with a mascara?
Hi Kristen — mascara was launched just days ago! Yay!!! I was able to try it at convention and I’m looking forward to having one of my own! Blessings! Paula
Need order # & price & Pc for black mascara
So how do you remove the Savvy makeup?
The seedlings baby wipes work great for removing the makeup.
When will Savvy be available in Canada?
Will there be a Savvy Minerals Starter Kit?
“Savvy Minerals makeup is not tested on animals, and many products in the minerals makeup line are cruelty free and vegan friendly,”… I’m confused by this statement. It says it’s not tested on animals but “many” products are cruelty free and vegan friendly? Which ones are not?
All Young Living products are cruelty free and are never tested on animals. Thanks for pointing out the confusing phrasing.
Yes, but do you use any type of animal such as snail in an any of your products?
Hi Jennifer, thanks for stopping by! We’d be happy to answer your question in more detail – please email productsupport@youngliving.com. Thanks!
