Semi-matte finish. 16-hour wear. Available in 10 shades from 05 Fair Neutral to 50 Deep Cool. 30ml / 40g per unit. ECOCERT COSMOS Natural certified — 99% natural origin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my shade?

Match your shade to your natural skin tone at the jawline — not the face, which is often slightly different. The number indicates depth (05 is lightest, 50 is deepest) and the suffix indicates undertone: Neutral for balanced skin, Warm for yellow/golden undertones, Cool for pink/blue undertones. If you are between shades, go one shade lighter — foundation sits slightly darker on skin than in the bottle, and a lighter shade is easier to deepen with bronzer than a too-dark shade is to lighten.

Does the semi-matte finish look natural?

Yes — semi-matte reduces shine without creating the flat, powdery look of a full matte foundation. The Hyaluronic Acid in the formula keeps enough luminosity that skin looks healthy and real rather than covered. The result is closer to a "skin finish" than a "full-coverage finish" — you can see skin texture through it rather than a mask over it. For a more luminous finish, skip the setting powder and use a highlighter on the high points only.

Can I use it without primer?

Yes — the Niacinamide in the formula minimises pores and the semi-matte finish already controls shine, which is what primer typically does before a foundation. Apply after skincare and SPF have fully absorbed (give SPF 3–5 minutes before applying foundation). For very oily skin or very long days, a mattifying primer under the foundation can extend the wear further. For normal to dry skin, the formula's own primer-like properties are typically sufficient.

Is it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes — the formula is COSMOS Natural certified, non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested. The Niacinamide actively helps with blemish-prone skin by regulating oil and reducing the appearance of active blemishes under coverage. For acne-prone skin, the most important habit is thorough removal each evening — leave foundation on overnight and the benefit of any skincare ingredient in the formula is negated. Remove with a micellar water or cleansing balm, then follow with your regular skincare routine.
