The fourth ingredient of this productd is SD alcohol 40, which is denatured alcohol that can not only be extremely drying and irritating to skin, but also generate free radical damage. It’s on the top of the list which means there is a lot of it, not good news.

The product contains large amount of silicone, which provides a temporary smooth, "mattified" feeling and minimizes the appearance of pores. But overdose is likely to cause pore clogging.

On the good side there are natural plant extracts such as eysenhardtia polystachya (Palo Azul) wood extract and peony extract that are both natural moisturizing factor. But overall the abundance of denatured alcohol content will make it problematic for most skin types.

Safety alert: Elevated
