Laura Mercier Translucent Pressed Setting Powder

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Laura Mercier Translucent Pressed Setting Powder scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Laura Mercier Translucent Pressed Setting Powder lists 12 ingredients, starting with Talc, Dimethicone, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Zinc Stearate and Silica. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Laura Mercier Translucent Pressed Setting Powder scores worse than most foundation & concealer we have scored. A higher-scoring option in foundation & concealer is RMS Beauty UnPowder Untinted at 96/100.
