Ingredients come first
Every ingredient in our Loose Powder is a plant or mineral that earns its place on your skin. No talc, no synthetic fillers, no ingredients that sit on the surface and block what's underneath. Each component either absorbs oil, refines texture, or soothes the skin it's applied to — so this powder does more than set your makeup. It actively improves what's happening at the skin's surface while it works.
Why these ingredients work
1. ARROWROOT POWDER. LIGHTWEIGHT OIL ABSORPTION
Derived from the arrowroot plant and one of the finest natural powders available for skincare. Arrowroot absorbs excess sebum and surface moisture without the heaviness or cakiness that synthetic powders create leaving a finish that looks like skin rather than coverage.
2. RICE POWDER. SMOOTH + MATTIFY
Rice powder absorbs oil throughout the day while simultaneously diffusing light across the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of pores and uneven texture. It gives the powder its silky, smooth application feel and contributes to the airbrushed finish that stays consistent from morning to end of day.
3. MULTANI MITTI. PURIFY + REFINE
Multani Mitti draws excess sebum and surface impurities away from the skin throughout wear, making this powder particularly effective for oily and combination skin types that need more than a standard setting powder.
4. SWEET FLAG. SOOTHE + CALM
Derived from the Acorus Calamus plant, Sweet Flag has been used in traditional botanical skincare for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It calms any reactivity at the skin's surface during and after application making this powder suitable for sensitive skin that typically reacts to conventional setting powders.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Sweet Flag actively soothes reactive skin during wear, and the formula contains none of the synthetic binders, fragrance, or talc that conventional setting powders use the most common triggers for sensitivity reactions. It is one of the few setting powders suitable for use on post-treatment or reactive skin.
-
Yes, particularly well. Multani Mitti and Arrowroot Powder together deliver stronger oil absorption than most natural setting powders. For very oily skin, press the powder into the skin rather than sweeping it on, focus application on the T-zone, and carry the powder for midday touch-ups rather than applying a heavy layer in the morning.
-
No, when used as directed. The key is applying a light hand load the brush, tap off the excess, and build gradually. The fine particle size of Arrowroot and Rice Powder means the formula diffuses into the skin rather than sitting visibly on top of it. Heavy application of any powder natural or synthetic can look cakey, so start with less than you think you need.
-
Yes, with a light application. The formula is designed primarily for normal to oily skin but works on dry skin when applied sparingly focus on the T-zone only and avoid heavy application on dry patches where powder can settle into texture. Follow with a light mist to meld the powder into the skin if needed.
-
No. This formula contains no talc. Arrowroot Powder and Rice Powder perform the same oil-absorbing and skin-smoothing functions as talc without the health concerns associated with talc-based cosmetics. Every ingredient is plant or mineral derived and free from synthetic fillers.
