Zao Mineral Silk Loose Powder Refill — Certified Organic Mattifying Powder Foundation for a Natural Velvety Finish
Skin that looks polished yet entirely effortless begins with a foundation of intelligent, plant-origin minerals — and this is exactly where Zao Mineral Silk Loose Powder positions itself. An ultra-fine aerial veil of organic rice powder, corn starch, and silica-rich bamboo powder settles invisibly onto the skin, regulating sebum, blurring imperfections, and unifying tone without the heavy, pore-suffocating feel of conventional setting powders. The result is a naturally velvety, luminous-matte complexion that honours both your skin and the planet — housed in a refillable bamboo pot that reflects the same conscious commitment as the formula itself.

Organic rice powder forms the foundation of this formula, leveraging its naturally porous starch structure to absorb excess sebum at the skin’s surface and diffuse light for a soft-focus, matte finish — without occluding follicular openings. Organic corn starch acts as a binding and dispersion agent, ensuring pigments distribute evenly across the skin matrix for seamless, consistent coverage that resists movement. Bamboo powder, concentrated in naturally occurring silica, reinforces the skin’s mineral balance and supports structural regeneration while simultaneously absorbing surface shine. Cocoa bean extract completes the formula as an antioxidant defence, scavenging free radicals to protect against environmental and oxidative ageing, while contributing a warm, natural vegetable-derived tone to the pigment profile.
