Is this foundation good for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is vegan and free of parabens, talc, gluten and synthetic fragrance, and it is described as suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It also contains squalane and prickly pear extract to hydrate and soothe.

What coverage and finish does it give?

It gives medium, buildable coverage with a naturally radiant finish. It is lighter than a full-coverage foundation, so blemishes may need concealer.

Does it really protect from the sun?

It has SPF 20 broad-spectrum protection, which helps for everyday incidental sun. It is not a substitute for a dedicated sunscreen for long outdoor exposure.

How does it compare with the original bareMinerals loose powder?

It is inspired by the loose powder but comes as a liquid with medium coverage and a pump bottle. The powder suits those who prefer a loose mineral format; the liquid suits those who want easier, more buildable coverage.

Will it work for oily skin?

It can, but the radiant finish may look shiny on oily skin. Many owners set it with powder or blot during the day.

What is in the bottle and how is it packaged?

It comes in an airless pump bottle with a twist-lock cap. The formula includes squalane, prickly pear extract, peptides and the Healthy Mineral Complex.
