❶ Texture
- Primary Feel: Ultra-fine, silky, and "blurring." The high concentration of Silica and Synthetic Fluorphlogopite (a synthetic mica) creates a smooth, velvety slip that feels lightweight on the skin.
- Mechanism: Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer and HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer are film-forming and texturizing agents that create a soft-focus effect, filling in fine lines and pores to create a smooth canvas.
❷ Function
- Primary: Set makeup, absorb excess sebum, and prevent creasing.
- Optical Blurring: Uses a blend of powders (Silica, Mica, Boron Nitride in shade 02) to scatter light, minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines.
- Hydration Regulation: Contains Glycerin, Squalane, and Sodium Hyaluronate (Shade 02) to prevent the powder from drying out the skin, a common issue with mattifying powders.
- Skincare Delivery: Functions as a vehicle for active ingredients (peptides, collagen, astaxanthin) due to the inclusion of penetration enhancers like Cyclodextrin and emollients.
❸ Targeted Benefits (The "Treatment" Aspect)
This is the unique selling point of this powder. It contains a significant "cocktail" of high-end skincare ingredients rarely found in powders:
①Peptides: A multi-peptide complex (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide1/5, Hexapeptide-9, Tripeptide-1) to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time.
②Collagen & DNA: Soluble Collagen and Sodium DNA for moisturizing and skin regeneration support.
①Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant that protects against environmental stressors.
②Tocopheryl Acetate (Vit E - Shade 02): Protects skin cells from free radicals.
③Hypericum Perforatum (St. John's Wort) Extract: Traditionally used for soothing properties.
①Ganoderma Atrum Extract (Shade 02): A type of mushroom extract known for antioxidant and soothing properties.
②Coconut Oil & Squalane: Provide emollience to keep the skin comfortable.
❹ Finish (Key Differences between Shades)
The finish varies slightly between the two shades due to different pigment and powder ratios.
①Shade 01: The "Brightening" Finish
- Key Additives: CI 77019 (Mica) , CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) , and a touch of CI 77007 (Ultramarines) / CI 73360 (Red 30) for color correction.
- Visual Effect: Has a subtle brightening or "pinkish/peach" correcting effect. It is designed to add a touch of radiance back to the skin without looking sparkly. It helps combat dullness.
②Shade 02: The "Soft Focus" / "Blurring" Finish
- Key Additives: Boron Nitride and Lauroyl Lysine.
- Visual Effect: Boron Nitride is often called "soft focus white" and provides a superior blurring effect with a slight luminous sheen but no glitter. It feels exceptionally slick and smooth. The presence of Zinc Oxide also adds to the mattifying and soothing properties.
- Shade Adaptation: The inclusion of Ganoderma Atrum Extract (often found in "cushion" foundations for a healthy glow) and the absence of heavy colorants suggest this shade is more focused on a neutral, translucent blur rather than color correction.
