Ingredients: Pearl Powder, Mica, Silica Microspheres, Active Colloidal Botanical Extracts
Silica Microspheres is an oil absorbent, that improves slip, and also scatter light and blur the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Other makeup formulas use talc, cornstarch, arrowroot powder, tapioca starch or rice powder to provide the silky slip. Talc is potentially harmful, rice powder offers no benefits for skin and cornstarch, tapioca starch and arrowroot powder can harbor bacterial growth that cannot be seen on your skin. Now who wants nasties on their facial skin, not me, do you?
