Formulation view Loose powder dominated by micas, silica, and kaolin for matte oil control. Dimethicone and starch enhance smoothness and absorption. Mineral-oil free, ideal for oily skin setting. Formulator Note: Silicone blends create an 'airy' texture; sodium dehydroacetate preservation requires regulatory compliance. Powder hygroscopicity is a key concern for stability during long shelf life.
