Ingredients:
The foundation contains Octinoxate (4.9%), Titanium Dioxide (5.8%), Dimethicone, and other ingredients. The key ingredients include:
-
Water: The most common skincare ingredient of all. It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water. Once inside the skin, it hydrates.
-
Glycerin: A natural moisturizer that’s also in our skin. It is a super common, safe, effective, and cheap molecule used for more than 50 years.
-
Citric Acid: A common multi-tasker fatty acid. It makes your skin feel nice and smooth (emollient), gives body to cream type products, and helps to stabilize water and oil mixes (aka emulsions) .
-
Dimethicone: A super commonly used 5 unit long, cyclic structured silicone that is water-thin and does not stay on the skin but evaporates from it (called volatile silicone). Similar to other silicones, it gives skin and hair a silky, smooth feel.
-
Aluminum Hydroxide: A naturally occurring mineral that is used as a thickening agent and helps to improve the texture of the product.
