Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Isododecane is a fragrance, emollient, and solvent.
As an emollient, it helps your skin stay soft and hydrated. Emollients help trap moisture into your skin.
Isododecane's role as a solvent makes it a great texture enhancer. It spreads smoothly on skin and does not leave a sticky feeling behind. Isododecane also helps prevent color transfer in makeup products.
Isododecane is not absorbed into skin.

Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.
Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

I recently bought this foundation because of all the great things I've heard about it. I bought it with MY OWN MONEY & I'm actually thinking about returning it instead of trying it at all.... Part of the reason I bought it was because of the whole weightless, perfecting, & waterproof claims in the title. I have oily to normal skin and thought this was going to be a great matte foundation.

My experience with this foundation has been extremely good. Didn’t notice any oxidation, creasing, flaking literally nothing. It’s so good and is 100% worth it. It’s fungal acne safe!
