bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 in Fair Ivory 02 is a lightweight, talc-free mineral powder that delivers buildable sheer-to-full coverage with a natural luminous finish while providing SPF 15 protection.

This mineral foundation is formulated for sensitive skin and uses a short list of five clean, vegan ingredients to offer breathable coverage that won’t feel heavy or settle into fine lines.

The formula is non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested, and free from parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic fragrance, PEGs, and talc.

How much coverage can I expect from this powder foundation?

You can build coverage from a light, skinlike veil to medium or fuller coverage by layering and using different application tools. The loose mineral particles are finely milled to diffuse the look of imperfections while maintaining a natural finish.

• Blends smoothly with a kabuki brush or sponge
• Mineral pigments maintain color without caking

Will this foundation work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested, designed to minimize irritation and avoid pore-clogging ingredients. Because it’s talc-free and made with only five clean, vegan components, it’s often tolerated well by sensitive and breakout-prone skin types.

• Non-comedogenic finish helps reduce pore congestion
• Dermatologist-tested for gentle wear
• Free of parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic fragrance, and gluten

How does the SPF 15 in this mineral powder protect my skin?

The powder contains mineral-based sun-protecting ingredients that offer broad-spectrum defense against UVA and UVB rays as part of your makeup routine. SPF 15 provides a basic layer of protection; pair with your regular sunscreen for extended sun exposure or higher-risk conditions.

• Mineral SPF 15 helps guard against daily UV exposure
• Works as a makeup layer over sunscreen for added defense
• Safe to reapply over makeup with a brush or powder puff

How should I apply and layer this powder for best results?

Start with a light dusting and build coverage gradually to avoid a heavy finish. Use a dense kabuki brush for fuller coverage or a fluffy brush for a sheer, blended look; a damp sponge can press pigment in for longevity.

• Use a kabuki brush for medium to full coverage
• Apply with a fluffy brush for a light, luminous veil
• Press with a sponge to boost longevity without cakiness
