Minerals

Boron Nitride

What it is

A synthetic mineral with a platelet structure similar to mica's, used for soft-focus diffusion.

Why it is here

Soft focus. It scatters light across the surface of the foundation so full coverage looks like skin rather than like a layer, without using mica.

What you may notice

  • Soft-focus diffusion
  • Silky, non-powdery slip

In some formulas, not others

Boron nitride is in the Liquid Foundation and is not in the baked pressed line. The pressed line lists it as an omission, so if it is on your avoid list, the pressed compacts are the ones to reach for.

Beautiful!!! This pressed foundation goes on like silk! I have many wrinkles but still feel confident wearing this. … I will order another in case they run out of this color. Non toxic and no titanium dioxide!!!! Love this!
