Science & Benefits

A complex silicone powder that combines a soft, elastic core with a hard resin shell. It provides a unique 'cushion' feel and excellent oil-absorption capabilities. It is 100% non-comedogenic. For acne patients, it provides a 'breathable' matte finish. Its spherical particles do not settle into pores, but rather 'float' over them, visually smoothing the skin's surface without the risk of follicular impaction.
