Blur + Set Pressed Powder

Your setting powder shouldn’t make you choose between oil control and looking like you’re wearing a mask.

By noon, your T-zone is a slip-and-slide. By 2 PM, foundation has settled into every fine line like it’s claiming new territory. So you reach for a setting powder—and it either cakes into pores, oxidizes into a shade too dark, or contains talc and fragrance that irritate your skin.

Maybe you’ve tried mineral powders loaded with bismuth oxychloride that itch within an hour, loose powders that scatter everywhere, or “invisible” pressed powders that somehow highlight every pore.

Whether you’re managing oil, softening fine lines for photos, or just want your makeup to survive a full day, you shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to find a setting powder that works without irritating your skin.

The Blur + Set Pressed Powder uses light-refracting technology to absorb oil and blur fine lines—without talc, parabens, fragrance, gluten, or animal-derived ingredients. Just performance that lasts.

The Art of Omission: What’s NOT in This Powder

❌ Talc: Replaced with silica microspheres for oil absorption. Safer, non-comedogenic.

❌ Parabens: Endocrine-disrupting preservatives common in many powders. We use phenoxyethanol at safe levels instead.

❌ Fragrance / Parfum: Avoids undisclosed chemicals that can cause irritation.

❌ Bismuth Oxychloride: Mineral filler that can cause itching and clogged pores.

❌ Gluten: Safe for those with celiac disease or skin sensitivities.

❌ Animal-Derived Ingredients: 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

What IS in This Powder — Full Ingredient Transparency

🌿 Silica: Natural mineral that mattifies and absorbs oil without caking. Safer, non-comedogenic alternative to talc.

🌿 Laurel Lysine: Amino acid-based binder that improves powder adhesion and wear time. Keeps the powder silky and comfortable on skin.

🌿 Polymethylsilsesquioxane: Silicone microspheres that scatter light and blur fine lines and pores, creating a soft-focus finish.

🌿 Isostearyl Palmitate: Plant-derived emollient that prevents dryness and helps powder blend smoothly.

🌿 Vegetable Squalane: Lightweight hydration that supports the skin’s lipid barrier without clogging pores.

🌿 Phenoxyethanol: Preservative used at safe concentrations to keep the formula stable without parabens.

🌿 Dimethicone: Silicone-based skin protectant that smooths texture and helps powder apply evenly. Non-comedogenic at formula concentrations.

Transparency Notes: Phenoxyethanol & Dimethicone

Phenoxyethanol is approved for cosmetic use at concentrations under 1%, safe for sensitive skin, and widely accepted by clean beauty standards. We chose it over parabens for safety and efficacy.

Dimethicone smooths application and improves wear. FDA-recognized as a skin protectant, non-comedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin. Minimal effective concentrations are used; silicone-free alternatives exist elsewhere in our line.

FAQ

Will this work on oily AND dry skin?

Yes. Silica absorbs oil without stripping moisture, while vegetable squalane and isostearyl palmitate prevent dryness. Controls shine and sits comfortably over dry patches.

Is this safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

We avoid common irritants like talc, bismuth, fragrance, parabens, and gluten. Everyone’s skin is unique—check the full ingredient list with your healthcare provider if needed.

Why dimethicone?

It’s a studied, safe ingredient that improves smoothness and wear. Silicone-free alternatives are available in other products.

Does this have SPF?

No. Apply sunscreen underneath; this powder is designed for oil control and fine-line blurring only.

How do I apply it?

Press a brush or puff into the compact, tap off excess, and press (don’t swipe) onto your T-zone, under-eye area, or wherever you want oil control and blur. Build in thin layers for maximum effect.

What’s the shelf life?

12–18 months after opening with proper storage. Keep the compact closed and away from heat or sunlight.
