Formula: Aqua, Glycerin, Triisostearin, Octocrylene, Isopropyl Stearate, Talc, Cetearyl Alcohol, Methylpropanediol, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Glyceryl Stearate, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Panthenol, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Dimethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Oleic Acid, Myristic Acid, Arachidic Acid, Sodium Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Glucoside, Trisodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Citronellol, Geraniol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Parfum, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77492

Texture/consistency: Thick and smooth consistency – much like that of mousse or a balm. It perfectly absorbs into the skin within seconds leaving no residue or cakey finish.

Perfect for: Normal to dry skin. Works perfectly well on sensitive skin.

Usage: Apply cream on clean and dry face. Gently massage in small circles. Apply a light quote for a natural finish but you may build on it if you need more coverage. Lasting formula.

Result: Flawless and smooth coverage. As per the claim, the product does serve the purpose of a balm and light coverage BB cream. Enriched with Minerals, Provitamin B5 and a hint of make-up, the BB Cream is a 5 in 1 day cream that moisturizes and gives a flawless and beautiful looking complexion. The liquid is thicker than other BB creams that I have tried; however, it is still much lighter on the skin than most foundations. It absorbs so well into dry skin while making it less flakey and works perfects for sensitive skin as well. While the BB cream provide protection against the suns harmful rays to a certain extent, since it is only SPF 10 it’s unlikely for it to protect your skin from damage if it’s exposed to the sun for a prolonged time period. The product evens skin tone, refines the appearance of pores and provides a matte effect. Its best quality is how light it feels on the skin while lasting all day long. We really feel like is a magic solution to all working make-up problems.
