Aromaleigh is a small artisan crafted brand which has been formulating loose powder mineral foundation since 1998. Currently in it's 28 year of business, the products are small batch crafted in the USA. Aromaleigh offers 3 foundation formulas (Gossamer, Dewdrop and Pashmina) and an extensive shade range for each formula. Aromaleigh specializes in hard to match, typically underserved undertones such as pale tones, olive, pink and everything in between. Aromaleigh features an easy to understand shade naming system that utilizes a number for the depth of the skintone, and a simple undertone reference (such as warm/cool/linen/pink etc) - which makes understanding the foundation color range easier than brands which name shades after abstract names or concepts.
Aromaleigh Mineral Foundations are available in four sizes: sample baggies, mini jars, regular jars and large jars. Samples are available of all loose powder products, site-wide and customers are encouraged to sample as many and as often as they wish.
Aromaleigh utilizes basic jars and sifters, without excess packaging such as custom printed boxes or packing materials. This not only contributes to greater affordability, but is a more eco-conscious small business model.
Aromaleigh Mineral Foundations are one of the most affordable options available for an established mineral foundation formula with a long sales track record spanning almost 3 decades.
