Optimum Defence Foundation Cream SPF 15

Add to favourites
This light, creamy foundation provides natural, effective coverage thanks to the combination of mineral pigments with Optisol™ OTP-1, and a powerful emollient and emulsifier system. To fight the ever present threats of pollution, Optisol OTP-1 and Phytessence™ Peach Flower work together to eliminate free radicals and harmful gaseous pollutants, and help the skin thrive in any condition. Optisol OTP-1 also provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, while working in sync with Crodamol™ IPIS and Crodamol STS, which provide enhanced spreadability on the skin and result in a powder-dry feel and a flawless complexion. The combination of Cithrol™ DPHS and Cithrol PG32IS creates a powerful emulsion system, which ensures formulation stability over a wide range of temperatures, making sure the skin is perfectly protected wherever you go
