Zao Eyeshadow Refill Pan — Certified Organic Colour with Skin-Loving Botanicals
Conventional eyeshadows compromise between pigment and skin health — Zao's Refill Pan refuses that trade-off. Pressed into a slim, sustainable bamboo-compatible format, each pan delivers buildable, crease-resistant colour while actively conditioning the eyelid with plant-derived squalene and omega-rich flaxseed oil. The result is a finish that feels as considered as it looks: luminous or velvety depending on your chosen shade, and soft to the touch from first application to end of day.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Organic Corn Starch | Zea Mays Starch | High | Film-former / Binder | Improves pigment adhesion and dispersion; enhances wear longevity |
| Bamboo Powder | Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Powder | High | Mattifier / Texturiser | High silica content remineralises skin; controls shine on combination and oily lids |
| Organic Rice Powder | Oryza Sativa Powder | Mid | Sebum-regulator / Mattifier | Matifies without pore-clogging; adjusts sebum secretion for a clean, smooth finish |
| Vegetal Squalene | Squalane (olive-derived) | Mid | Emollient / Barrier-reinforcing agent | Mimics natural cutaneous lipids; strengthens the hydrolipidic barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss |
| Organic Flaxseed Oil | Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil | Low | Emollient / Nourishing agent | Delivers omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids plus vitamins A, E, B and K; improves elasticity and deep epidermal hydration |
The formula pairs structural powder ingredients with active skin-conditioning agents to deliver both performance and care. Organic corn starch and rice powder create a smooth, pore-friendly matrix that binds pigment evenly to the lid, while bamboo-derived silica regulates surface shine and supports skin mineralisation. Olive-derived squalane — structurally identical to components of human sebum — reinforces the lipid barrier of the delicate eyelid skin, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration caused by prolonged wear. Flaxseed oil's essential fatty acid profile further nourishes the epidermis, supporting membrane integrity and improving the skin's capacity to retain water over time. ---
