Once you have finished applying your makeup, gently dust the Mineral Silk Translucent Powder across your face.

To do so, carefully dispense some powder through the sieve into the lid of the bamboo pot. Next, press lightly on the kabuki brush while rotating it over the powder to coat the bristles evenly. Before applying to your face in a circular motion, gently tap the kabuki brush to eliminate any excess powder.

Bamboo full size is packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case, Zao makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure.

Existing customers, please note that Zao are phasing out the cotton bamboo pouches that their products were packaged in (except glass bottle foundations and primers), in order to further reduce waste.

Refill is packaged in PET plastic.

Focus on Some Ingredients Highlight:

Bambusa arundinacea stem powder (micronised bamboo stem powder): A white substance extracted from the nodes of the bamboo. It is mainly composed of pure silica and has been widely used in oriental medicine. Organic silica, which is a component of connective tissue, is present throughout the human body and regenerates the epidermis as it is involved in the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Over time, our silica reserves diminish, causing demineralisation and loss of skin elasticity. It is therefore necessary to regularly replenish the skin with transcutaneous supplies.

Organic zea mays (corn) starch: Organic Corn starch is a vegetable support to improve fixing of the powder to skin, and therefore enhance durability. It allows a better dispersion of pigments and so helps to perfect your complexion with an even tone.

Silica (organic silica): The human body contains about seven grams of silica, far more than Any other mineral including iron (and silica is the second component of the earth’s crust with a 28% share after oxygen with 47%). An essential quality of silica is that it allows the body to efficiently absorb and assimilate minerals and vitamins. The connective tissue of the human body (cell wall) is composed of collagen and elastin. These molecules need silica, which, however, is no longer synthesised from an age of about twenty. An external supply is needed especially for the skin. For this reason, most of the products in the Zao range contain organic silica.

Silver (CI 77820) (micronised silver powder): These micro-particles of pure silver are antiseptic (especially on skin and mucous membranes) and antibacterial as well, thereby preserving the product and protecting the skin. Microsilver is often used in creams to treat burns. Almost all products in the Zao range (except lipbalm stick and pencils) contain micro-particles of pure silver (a natural preservative)
