Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder scores 61/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder lists 11 ingredients, starting with Mica, Lauroyl Lysine, Zinc Stearate, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate and Silica. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 61/100 Laura Mercier Ultra-Blur Talc-Free Translucent Loose Setting Powder lands mid-scale — below the typical score in foundation & concealer, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in foundation & concealer is RMS Beauty UnPowder Untinted at 96/100.
