How it works

The product works by providing immediate skin color through the inclusion of pigments like mica and iron oxides, which give the skin a bronzed appearance. Cyclopentasiloxane and isododecane help the product spread smoothly across the skin, while dimethicone and cetyl peg/ppg-10/1 dimethicone act as conditioning agents to improve texture. Glycerin functions as a humectant, helping to keep the skin hydrated. Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil serves as an emollient to soften skin. Tocopherol, an antioxidant, assists in protecting the skin from environmental stressors. The combination of these ingredients helps to mask minor skin imperfections and provide an even, matte finish.
