Makeup as skincare.

A water- and plant-based matte foundation solution boasting Quinoa extract, Blackcurrant extract and Hyualoronic Acid. Ideal for a sheer, no makeup look. Perfect for sensitive, oily or acne prone skins, as well as those “taking a break” from heavy makeup or those with recovering skin barriers. To boot: it’s silicone-free and completely free of fragrances, including essential oils.

A matte, skin-like foundation with light coverage. This foundation is what it says it is. Delivering a matte and sheer finish, it is exceptional in not only the ingredients it includes, but more so the ingredients that is not included [which is especially relevant to those with reactive, barrier impaired skin].

Unlike many foundations that feature one star extract mixed in with the usual formulation, Quinoa Water Foundation is free-from: talc, petroleum, mineral oils, PEGs, parabens, fragrance, essential oils (Linalool, Limonene), mica, silicones, alcohol, disodium EDTA, and phenoxytethanol. Feel free to compare these ingredients to other foundations. The free-from is not to imply that any of those ingredients cannot be part of great formulations, it’s to showcase the exceptional length the Quinoa Water Foundation formulation goes to be what it says. Plus, 100% vegan!

Use it for a while to fully experience the benefits.
As you wish, like a normal foundation! Best on exfoliated and properly prepped skin [as they say, no makeup works if the skin prep isn’t on point]. This foundation is fantastic for oily skin seeking a natural look, for skin recovering from treatments and for skin needing extra TLC but still wanting a hint of foundation. Requires a bit of skill to apply due to the water base. Recommended to allow skin prep products absorb properly before application. Does not mix well with certain moisturisers.
A flawless composition:

  • Water and glycerin base

  • Hyaluronic Acid
