FOUNDATION NEWS: bareMinerals READY™ SPF 20 FOUNDATION - new solid mineral foundation to launch September
THE OFFICIAL SPIEL:
bareMinerals Ready™ broad spectrum SPF 20 Foundation is an innovative concept in solid mineral technology. Created through a unique method, this hydrating foundation combines our proprietary SeaNutritive Mineral™ Complex composed of highly concentrated, mineral-rich algae and seaweed with antioxidants and rose hip seed oil, a cold-pressed oil that contains vitamin A to help accelerate cell turnover for firmer-looking skin and vitamins C and E for a healthy-looking complexion.
A unique time-released hydration system enables this formula to help moisturize and replenish skin throughout the day. A moisturizing complex of mineral-encapsulated glycerin and humic acid locks in existing moisture and breaks down upon application and over time to continuously condition and soften skin. This foundation diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, delivers fi rmer-looking skin and protects skin from harsh environmental stressors for a softer, smoother, younger-looking complexion.
Using only natural colorants, our silky formula looks like a powder but feels like a cream to deliver buildable coverage with exceptional skin- nourishing benefits.
