Key ingredients and their functions

How it works

The foundation utilizes Cyclopentasiloxane to help improve the texture of the skin, providing a smooth application. Butylene Glycol and Glycerin work as humectants to maintain skin hydration. Polymethylsilsesquioxane enhances the texture, while Dimethicone contributes to a smooth finish. Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract and Tocopherol act as antioxidants, potentially supporting the skin's protection against environmental stressors. Ascorbyl Glucoside is included for its skin brightening properties, aiming to improve the overall appearance by creating a luminous effect. The combination of these ingredients helps achieve a blendable and comfortable skin appearance.
