Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

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.
