| Organic Macadamia Oil | Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil (Organic) | Mid | Emollient / Skin-conditioning agent | Rapidly absorbed; restructures, nourishes and soothes sensitive and dry skin without greasy residue |

Organic corn starch acts as a vegetable-derived binding matrix, anchoring micronised pigments to the skin’s surface and improving wear longevity through enhanced adhesion. Bamboo powder, naturally rich in silica, physically absorbs excess sebum and diffuses light to eliminate shine while its mineral content supports skin remineralisation at the surface layer. Organic macadamia oil and cocoa butter work in tandem to counterbalance the absorbent powder agents — the oil delivers rapid emollient conditioning without occluding pores, while cocoa butter forms a lightweight lipid barrier that slows trans-epidermal water loss, ensuring the formula mattifies without dehydrating the complexion.
