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’ve been using this product for years and love how it gives me a mild amount of coverage which is perfect for everyday use. The squalane is moisturizing, and Shade 1 (sometimes 2 if I’m using self tanner) suits my skin tone perfectly. I like that it has vitamin C in it already, so I can skip an extra step in my routine. My only feedback is that it is not fungal acne safe, so I've stopped using it Show more

for a no makeup makeup look, this is it. 20W wouldn’t work for me in a foundation, but this product is so light you don’t need an exact shade match.
