Key ingredients and their functions

• Mica - texture enhancer

How it works

The product uses mica to create a soft, reflective surface that enhances the skin's natural texture, offering a subtle glow. Zea Mays (corn) starch functions as an absorbent to maintain a fresh look. Octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate and caprylic/capric triglyceride provide emollient properties that help the powder blend smoothly onto the skin, improving texture. Hectorite increases viscosity, ensuring the powder maintains its form. Dimethicone adds a layer of smoothness, aiding in conditioning the skin. Ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer helps the powder adhere to the skin, forming a cohesive layer. Lauroyl lysine further conditions the skin to enhance a soft feel, helping achieve a natural, glowing finish.
