Do you dream of having a radiant complexion? You’re not the only one! While a skin-friendly lifestyle and 100% natural skincare products will certainly help to give your skin a glow, there’s nothing quite like makeup to really enhance your face’s beauty. Unfortunately, however, many conventional makeup products can be harsh on the skin or comedogenic. At first, they may seem to give good results, but over time they tend to dry out the skin and clog pores. Then what happens? Day after day, blemishes appear, and your complexion becomes dull. But it doesn’t have to be that way! It is perfectly possible to find a foundation that really cares for your skin.

Why use an organic cream foundation?

The benefits of an organic cream foundation

An organic cream foundation is more than just an alternative to regular makeup products. It’s a product that says something about you: that you care about your skin’s health – and the health of the environment. Conventional foundations often contain harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin and block pores. Organic cream foundations, on the other hand, are formulated with natural, certified-organic ingredients, chosen because they are both gentle and effective, while also able to help reduce dark spots and blemishes. So you’re not just looking at a makeup product; you’re looking at a product that truly cares for the skin of your face.

When you choose organic beauty products, you’re supporting sustainable manufacturing methods with minimal ecological impact, plus you’re choosing products that help to protect the environment. Absolution's La Crème du Teint ticks all these boxes, and it’s vegan too. This means that it doesn’t contain any animal-derived ingredients. And in accordance with European regulations, it hasn’t been tested on animals either!.

Good to know: Absolution has never tested its products on animals

Since 2013, animal testing for all cosmetic products sold in Europe has been banned by European legislation, regardless of whether the products are manufactured by organic or conventional brands. This regulation ensures that the same ethical practices apply throughout the continent. As a brand that’s dedicated to supporting the living world, Absolution didn’t have to make any changes when this legislation came into force. Why? Because none of its products have ever been tested on animals since day one, when the brand was created in 2009.

What is the difference between a cream foundation and a BB cream?

There are two main differences between a cream foundation and a BB cream: their function and the amount of coverage they provide. A cream foundation provides greater coverage, and effectively conceals blemishes, imperfections and dark spots, while evening out the complexion.

Just like foundations, BB creams come in several shades, but they tend to provide lighter coverage, with more of a focus on moisturizing and protecting the skin.

Absolution’s long-wearing, skin-caring vegan cream foundation combines the best of both worlds, as it moisturizes and corrects the skin, while giving a natural finish.

How to find the ideal cream foundation for your skin

What kind of foundation is best for dry or for oily skin?

When choosing your foundation or BB cream, it’s essential that you know your skin mood. Is it oily? Combination? Normal? Dry? Your skin’s needs vary according to your skin type. For example, if you have oily skin, avoid products made with comedogenic oils at all costs! A foundation made with these oils would suffocate the skin of your face and clog pores. This would make blemishes worse – ironic when one of the reasons for using the product in the first place is to conceal imperfections! Luckily, La Crème du Teint from Absolution was designed to work with all skin moods. So you don’t have to worry about the comedogenic level of its active ingredients, or their moisturizing and soothing benefits. We selected the very best of nature for our natural foundation!

What type of foundation is best for mature skin?

Mature skin needs a product that provides good coverage so it will conceal dark spots, but also one that has moisturizing and pro-aging properties. Ingredients like Tamanu Oil and Helichrysum, found in Absolution’s La Crème du Teint, are perfect for revitalizing, invigorating and caring for the skin, while at the same time reducing the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. Our cream foundation keeps skin looking fresh and radiant all day long!

How to choose the right shade for your cream foundation?

Your foundation shade should match your skin tone perfectly, to avoid any visible demarcation lines. Always test products on your jawline rather than on your hand, so you can see how well they blend in with your natural skin tone, and do your testing in daylight. This will help you to find a shade that matches your complexion and avoid unwanted contrasts with your natural skin color. Absolution’s cream foundation is available in three shades: 01 Light, 02 Medium, and 03 Tan.

A closer look at Absolution’s La Crème du Teint

Absolution’s La Crème du Teint evens out your complexion while moisturizing your skin and protecting it against environmental aggressors. It’s made with a blend of natural and organic ingredients.

Green tea: An important source of polyphenols, particularly EGCG (a powerful free radical neutralizer), green tea purifies and helps to keep the skin of the face well toned. It contains astringent tannins, which work to soothe irritations and reduce redness.

Tamanu oil: Valued for its revitalizing and repairing properties, this oil actively promotes cell regeneration and helps to diminish the appearance of dark spots and scars.

Helichrysum (or immortelle): Also known as everlasting because its flowers can retain their color for an incredibly long time, helichrysum has calming and brightening properties, and is ideal for revitalizing the complexion. It also helps support healthy blood circulation, minimize redness and dark circles, and tone the skin.

Our cream foundation also contains jojoba oil, rosehip oil and an extract of edelweiss.

How to apply a cream foundation for best results?

Should you apply a cream or base before a cream foundation?

For best results when applying a cream foundation, begin by hydrating your skin. Make sure you prep your skin with a moisturizer tailored to your needs.

Is your skin dry? Opt for a rich cream that will deeply moisturize.

Is your skin oily? In that case, you need a balancing cream to help control excess sebum and improve the foundation’s wear. A good base and afinishing mineral powder will ensure that your foundation stays put perfectly all day.

How to apply cream foundation evenly?

If you’re looking for light coverage, you can apply the product with your hands. If you want more coverage, use a damp sponge. Blend well to get a natural-looking, even finish, focusing on areas that need extra correction.

To complete your face makeup routine, we recommend the finishing powder which sets makeup and mattifies the complexion, as well as Le Multicorrecteur– perfect for concealing dark circles, redness, blemishes and imperfections every day.
