What's inside Ambient Lighting Powder

Every ingredient below links to its full breakdown: safe amount, studies, and every other product that contains it.

Mica

Shimmer pigment

6%
Generally safe

A mineral that gives makeup its shimmer and light-reflecting finish. Low irritation risk on skin; the real concerns around mica are ethical mining practices, not health.

Talc

Hydrous magnesium silicate

25%
Use with care

A bulking powder used in setting powders and bronzers. Cosmetic-grade talc is asbestos-tested, but loose powder can still be an inhalation irritant.
