Struggling with constant shine in our warm, humid climate? This cult-favourite translucent powder is your secret weapon. Its fine, silky particles instantly absorb excess oil and sweat, leaving your skin with a soft, natural matte finish that lasts for hours.

• What it is: A loose mineral finishing powder designed to control sebum.
• What it does: Sets makeup, blurs the appearance of pores, and keeps skin shine-free without looking cakey.
• Who it's for: Ideal for oily and combination skin types. A must-have for anyone looking to control shine throughout the day, especially in tropical weather.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. Moisturiser / Sunscreen (AM): Hydrate and protect your skin. Let it absorb fully.
3. THIS PRODUCT: Using the puff, lightly press and pat the powder onto oily areas like your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) as the final step.

Note: Already own a similar setting powder? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

This powder is the final touch to lock in your look and keep you matte all day.

• Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturiser → 3) Sunscreen → 4) THIS PRODUCT (applied lightly to set everything).
• With Makeup: 1) Skincare & Sunscreen → 2) Primer (optional) → 3) Foundation/BB Cream → 4) THIS PRODUCT (to set makeup).
• Wait Times: Ensure your sunscreen or foundation is fully set before applying the powder to prevent patchiness.

This product is for daytime use and is not part of a PM routine. Your evening should focus on cleansing and repair.

• Minimalist PM Routine: 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if you wore makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Treatment Serum (optional) → 3) Moisturiser.

Daily Use — AM & Touch-ups:

• Amount: A small amount goes a long way. Lightly coat the puff, tap off any excess, and gently press onto the skin.
• Apply to: Oily areas such as the T-zone, eyelids (as a primer to prevent creasing), or even your scalp/hairline to absorb oil.
• Method: Use the provided puff in a gentle patting and pressing motion. Avoid rubbing or dragging.
• Frequency: Apply once in the morning as the final step of your skincare or makeup routine. Touch up as needed throughout the day.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Focus application on the forehead, nose, and chin. Carry it with you for a quick touch-up midday instead of using blotting papers.
• Makeup creasing on eyelids? Apply a tiny amount to your eyelids after primer but before eyeshadow to create a smooth, oil-free base.
• Greasy hair or fringe? Lightly pat a small amount into the roots of your hair to absorb excess oil, like a dry shampoo.

Watchouts: A white cast or "flashback" in photos can occur if too much product is applied. Use a light hand.

Safety: Avoid inhaling the powder. For external use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

• Daily (AM): Use every morning as the final step after skincare and/or makeup to control shine and set your look.
• As Needed: Carry for on-the-go touch-ups to combat midday oiliness, especially in Mauritius' humid weather.

• Immediate: Skin appears instantly matte, smooth, and shine-free. Pores may look slightly blurred. Makeup feels set and less tacky.
• After 2-4 hours: Oil control remains effective for most users, significantly reducing the need for blotting.
• After 4-8+ weeks: With consistent use, you'll notice a more balanced complexion throughout the day and may find your makeup lasts longer with less separation due to oil.

• Why this, not harsh cleansers? Many believe you need to strip oily skin with harsh, foamy cleansers to control shine. This often backfires, causing the skin to produce even more oil to compensate. This powder controls excess oil at the surface without disrupting your skin's moisture balance, offering a gentler, more effective approach to managing shine.

• Works Well With: Sunscreens (chemical and mineral), foundation, BB creams, cushions, and most cream or liquid makeup. It excels at setting products to increase their longevity.
• Use Carefully With: Very dewy or emollient foundations if applied too heavily, as it can potentially look patchy. It's best to apply a light layer.
• Avoid On: Severely dry or flaky skin, as the powder may cling to dry patches and accentuate them.

• Oily Skin: Excellent. This is a holy-grail product for controlling sebum and maintaining a matte finish.
• Combination Skin: Very good. Perfect for applying to the T-zone and other oily areas while leaving drier parts of the face untouched.
• Normal Skin: Good. Useful for setting makeup or controlling occasional shine on hot days.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. May be too mattifying and could emphasize dryness or fine lines. Not generally recommended unless for setting makeup in a very specific, small area.

• Excess Sebum / Oiliness
• Makeup Longevity (setting makeup)
• Shiny Complexion
• Visible Pores (blurring effect)

• MFDS Class: General Cosmetic. This product is not classified as a functional cosmetic by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).
• Clinical Evidence: The brand states the product is non-comedogenic tested and has completed skin irritation tests. Specific data (n, duration) is not publicly disclosed. Claims are primarily based on ingredient rationale.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Silica: A mineral-derived powder with excellent oil-absorbing properties. It helps to keep the skin matte and provides a smooth, soft-focus finish that blurs the look of pores. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Corn Starch Modified / Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate: Plant-derived starches that act as powerful sebum absorbers. They help control shine and give the powder its velvety texture without feeling heavy. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Mineral Salts (from Jeju Lava Seawater): Innisfree's signature ingredient, claimed to help maintain skin's oil-moisture balance. (Brand Claim)
• Mentha Arvensis (Mint) Leaf Extract: Provides a refreshing, cooling sensation and a mild, pleasant scent. (Ingredient Rationale)

Full INCI List: SILICA, CORN STARCH MODIFIED, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, MICA, METHICONE, FRAGRANCE / PARFUM, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, DIMETHICONE, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, WATER / AQUA / EAU, ETHYLENE/ACRYLIC ACID COPOLYMER, MINERAL SALTS, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, MENTHA ARVENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, PHENOXYETHANOL, TOCOPHEROL.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("FRAGRANCE / PARFUM"). It has a distinct fresh, minty scent which dissipates shortly after application.
• Scent Intensity: 2/5 (Noticeable but light and fresh).
• EU Allergens: None explicitly declared by the brand on the common INCI lists. However, the term "FRAGRANCE / PARFUM" can mask various components. A patch test is always advised for highly sensitive individuals.

Who should use it: Anyone with an oily or combination skin type looking for effective shine control.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very dry or sensitive skin may find it too mattifying. Those with a known sensitivity to fragrance or corn starch should patch test first.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of powder to a discreet area, like behind the ear or on your inner arm.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, it is likely safe to use on your face. Discontinue use if any irritation develops.

Safety Note: As with all loose powders, take care to avoid inhalation during application.

• Texture/Finish: An extremely fine, silky, translucent loose powder. It feels lightweight and provides an instant soft-matte finish on the skin.
• Scent: A refreshing and light minty fragrance.
• pH: Not applicable for an anhydrous (water-free) powder product.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula appears to be largely FA-safe, with key ingredients like Silica and Corn Starch being well-tolerated. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: Powder looks cakey or patchy. → Quick Fix: You may be applying too much product or applying it over a foundation that hasn't fully set. Use a lighter hand, tap off excess powder from the puff before application, and wait a minute for your base makeup to dry down.
• Issue: Skin feels too dry after application. → Quick Fix: This powder is highly absorbent. Reserve its use only for the oiliest parts of your face (like the T-zone) and ensure your skin is well-moisturized before application.
• Issue: A white cast is visible in flash photography. → Quick Fix: The ingredient Silica can cause "flashback." For events where you know photos will be taken with a flash, apply an extremely thin layer or opt for a different setting powder without high levels of silica.

This powder is practically made for the Mauritian climate. Its powerful sebum and sweat-absorbing capabilities are perfect for combating the shine that comes with our year-round heat and humidity.

• Humid Summer: An essential daily item. It helps makeup stay in place and prevents that sticky, greasy feeling. Keep it in your bag for quick touch-ups to stay fresh.
• Drier Winter: Still very useful, especially for oily skin types. Combination skin might switch to using it only on the T-zone, while dry skin types may not need it at all during the cooler months.
• Indoor/AC Use: If you work in air conditioning, which can dehydrate the skin, make sure you are moisturising well before applying this powder to avoid feeling tight or dry.

"I have very oily combo skin... I just tried the no sebum mineral powder today and had 0 oil after about 5 hours, when I'm usually super shiny with other powders. I didn't put a lot on... It doesn't seem to leave a white cast from what I see, but is great at keeping oil away."

- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-03)

"This product is probably one of the best things in skin care and makeup category. It is perfect for combination skin and oily skin. You can apply using the puff on the oily areas and it soaks up the additional oil and gives you a matte look... Also makes the pores look smaller and the skin looks smoother."

- YesStyle customer review (2024-09)

Fair Caveat: "The price is on the higher side in comparison to the quantity of the product, no doubt about it but the quality is really good! ... It controls excessive oil production, gives a matt look without making the skin look completely dry, rather gives a silky finish."

Is this powder suitable for dark skin tones?

As a translucent powder, it is designed to work on a wide range of skin tones without adding color. However, if applied too heavily, the silica may cause a slight white cast or flashback in photos, particularly on deeper skin tones. The key is to use a light hand and press it into the skin.

Can I use this without makeup?

Absolutely. It's excellent for applying over sunscreen or on bare skin to control shine for a natural, matte look throughout the day.

How is this different from the "No-Sebum Moisture Powder"?

The Mineral Powder (this product) is focused purely on maximum oil absorption for a matte finish, making it ideal for oily skin. The Moisture Powder is formulated for dry or combination skin; it controls oil but also contains ingredients to prevent the skin from feeling dry.

How do I clean the puff?

Wash the puff gently with a mild soap or facial cleanser and lukewarm water. Squeeze out the excess water and let it air dry completely before placing it back in the container.

• Best For: Oily and combination skin types needing powerful, all-day shine control.
• Key Benefits: Instantly mattifies, sets makeup, blurs pores, and has a refreshing feel. It's multi-functional and travel-friendly.
• Keep in Mind: The 5g size may seem small, though a little goes a long way. The minty fragrance may not be for everyone, and heavy application can cause flashback in photos. Not suitable for very dry skin.
