No Foundation Foundation is the first advanced anti-aging translucent finishing product designed to allow the natural health and glow of skin to shine through, while providing non-chemical SPF 30 broad spectrum UV protection. Elegant in texture and quick absorbing, this product helps correct skin undertones, while boosting skin's moisture level throughout the day, providing a natural dewy finish. It's infused with high potency active ingredients that provide anti-aging benefits and help firm skin's appearance and diminish lines and wrinkles over time. It's also formulated with specially treated pigments, blended with light diffusing mica to instantly soften the look of lines, wrinkles and pores, helping the skin appear smooth and naturally radiant. Ideal for those adverse to applying heavy foundation and in need of sun protection!
