Yes, the Emani Youth Defense Foundation with niacinamide is non-comedogenic, meaning it is formulated to not clog pores.

We formulate with only cosmetic grade (non-nano) titanium dioxide in Emani products, pure titanium dioxide is a fine, white powder that provides a bright, white finish. This ingredient along with mica and iron oxides are used to aid in hiding blemishes, brightening the look of skin or yield colors in cosmetics. These ingredients are deemed safe by FDA for cosmetic use.

Emani foundations contain titanium dioxide, similar to your typical physical sunscreen. As a result, our makeup creates a natural barrier on your skin to shield it from the sun’s harmful UV rays, with the equivalent of SPF 15 protection. However, we still recommend that you treat this as supplementary sunscreen, and that you still continue applying sunscreen before your makeup.

A little goes a long way. Typically, you won’t need more than 1 pump of foundation to cover your entire face. However, feel free to layer up coverage you desire.

For a seamless finish, try using a damp makeup sponge or a foundation brush to blend the foundation gently into your skin. Start from the center of your face and blend outwards for a natural look. It's all about finding what works best for you.

Feel free to wear it solo for a dewy look or add setting powder on top for a matte finish. It's all up to your preference.

Absolutely! We like to use ingredients that are safe for our oceans and coral reefs, so we offer sun protection with mineral-based ingredients. That being said, our foundations yield a high (but perfectly safe) concentration of titanium dioxide, similar to your typical physical sunscreen.
