This product is often used to “set” foundations, a process that involves absorbing moisture from the foundation and allowing it to dry in place. Face powder application is often a necessary step for increasing the foundation’s wear-time. Face powders, especially pressed ones, are also excellent for makeup touch-ups throughout the day. Additionally, if the foundation shade doesn’t match a person’s skin tone, face powders can help adjust and correct its color. 

Face powders typically contain ingredients that help prevent the growth of potentially harmful microorganisms. Product safety adheres to the principles of quality assurance (QA) and good manufacturing practices (GMP), including testing the compatibility of products with packaging and shelf-life stability. Manufacturers conduct extensive safety tests to ensure these products are safe and continue monitoring their safety in the marketplace by tracking consumer injury reports or comments/questions.
