- Lightweight & Silky-Smooth: The high concentration of silicones like Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, and Isododecane (a volatile silicone) creates a fluid, fast-spreading texture that feels light and silky on application. The volatile ingredients evaporate, leaving no heavy residue.
- Cushion-Typical Fresh & Cool: The delivery system (a cushion compact) typically provides a fresh, slightly hydrating application feel.
- Non-Greasy, Velvety Touch: Ingredients like Diisostearyl Malate and Dimethicone Crosspolymer help absorb excess oil and provide a velvety, powdery-soft after-feel without being drying.
- Long-Wearing & Transfer-Resistant: Multiple silicone-based film-formers (Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Copolymer) create a flexible, breathable network on the skin that locks pigment in place and resists smudging.
- Blurring & Pore-Smoothing: Light-diffusing powders like Boron Nitride and Polymethylsilsesquioxane, combined with filling silicones, work to optically blur the appearance of pores, fine lines, and texture.
- Moisture-Binding: Humectants like Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Panthenol attract and hold water to the skin's surface, supporting the "moisturizing" claim during wear.
- Stable Color & Application: The use of Magnesium Sodium Lithosilicate (a synthetic mineral) and various silicone elastomers helps stabilize the emulsion in the cushion sponge and ensures even pickup and application.
- Moisturizing & Skin-Conditioning: While not a treatment product, it includes skin-beneficial ingredients:
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Soothes and hydrates.
- Squalane: A biocompatible emollient that mimics skin's own lipids, supporting barrier function and preventing moisture loss.
- Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil (Marula Oil): A nourishing, antioxidant-rich oil that provides lightweight nourishment.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress.
- Soothing & Protective: Thermus Thermophillus Ferment is an extract from deep-sea micro-organisms, often used for its skin-protecting and soothing properties against environmental stressors.
- Sensitive Skin Considerations: Contains Hydroxyacetophenone, a gentle, multifunctional preservative and antioxidant booster suitable for sensitive skin. However, the presence of Fragrance (Parfum) and Alcohol may be irritating for some sensitive skin types.
- Natural Skin-Like to Luminous Satin: The combination of light-diffusing powders, silicone oils, and nourishing squalane/marula oil creates a finish that is not fully matte nor overly dewy. It likely provides a healthy, luminous satin finish that mimics natural skin glow.
- Soft-Focus Effect: The blurring agents (Boron Nitride, silicone elastomers) impart a soft-focus, airbrushed effect that makes skin appear smoother.
- Buildable Coverage: The pigments (CI 77891/Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491/92/99/Iron Oxides) are dispersed in a high-tech silicone network, allowing coverage to be sheered out or built up to a medium coverage without becoming cakey, maintaining the skin-like finish.
This Veecci Moisturizing Skin Cushion Foundation is formulated to be a multifunctional makeup product. It delivers a lightweight, silky texture that blurs imperfections and provides long-lasting, transfer-resistant wear. While it offers moisturizing and soothing benefits through added humectants, oils, and ferment extracts, its core strength is creating a flawless, luminous satin finish with a soft-focus effect. It's suitable for those seeking a perfected, skin-like look with added skincare benefits, though those with fragrance or alcohol sensitivities should patch-test.
Note: Shades #W01 and #W02 have nearly identical formulas, with the main difference being the type of silicone used (Octyl Trimethylsiloxy Dimethicone in W01 vs. Octyl Methicone in W02) and slight order variation, suggesting the shade adjustment does not significantly alter the core benefits or feel.
