Ingredient analysis

Formula analysis is a rule-based estimate, not dermatological advice. Individual reactions vary. Always patch test new products.

Formula overview

This hybrid primer blends water, silicones, and powders—kaolin and charcoal—to absorb shine and create a matte finish that should provide a smooth base for makeup. Glycerin and rice bran wax help maintain a comfortable wear without feeling heavy or cakey.

Compatibility

Ideal for oily or acne-prone skin seeking mattifying, pore-minimizing benefits.
