Free Of:

Formulated without parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic fragrance, gluten, PEGs, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, coal tar, or microbeads. We've restricted over 2,500 ingredients—including the 1,400+ banned in the E.U.—because we don't just avoid junk, we actively keep it out. Dermatologist-tested. Cruelty-free. Vegan.

Our Team Suggests:

SWIRL a small amount of foundation in the cap until it disappears into the Beautiful Finish Foundation Brush.

TAP away any excess.

BUFF onto your skin in circular motions. This activates the minerals and transforms them from a powder to a silky cream. Repeat until you’ve achieved the coverage you want, from sheer to full.

    Always came back to this!

    I am now a senior, and I've worn foundation since I was a teen. Tried the drugstore stuff, moved on to high end for many years. But a foundation would be fine for several weeks, then the redness and hives would start. Finally figured out I had rosacea. But at some point in my adult life, a co-worker suggested Bare Minerals. I liked it pretty well, but was still swayed periodically by the latest and greatest at the cosmetic counters. Skin would react, and back to Bare Minerals.

    I know now that I don't need to try anything else if I want my skin to stay calm!

    Been using for over 20 years!

    I was introduced to this product over 20 years ago by a coworker, and I have literally been using it ever since. I love the coverage, but it is very light and also has SPF. I love that it has clean ingredients.

Mineral Powder Foundation FAQs 

What is the best mineral powder foundation for older skin? 

For older skin, look for a lightweight, buildable powder that won't settle into fine lines and leaves a soft glow. ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 does exactly that: with just 5 ingredients, it provides a naturally luminous finish, all-day non-settling wear, and visibly minimizes fine lines, pores and imperfections. It's breathable, non-drying, and talc-free.

How do you apply ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 for the best coverage? 

Swirl, tap, buff — seamless coverage in three simple steps. Swirl a tiny amount of ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 in the cap until it disappears into the brush, tap off excess, then buff in circular motions for sheer, buildable coverage. Build in thin layers until you reach your preferred finish. 

Is a loose powder foundation with mineral SPF okay for sensitive or acne‑prone skin? 

Yes. ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, so it won't clog pores or trigger breakouts. The formula uses just 5 ingredients including mineral UV filters (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide) and is talc-free and free from parabens, synthetic fragrance, phthalates, and mineral oil.

How often should I use a loose powder foundation with SPF 15? 

You can use a loose powder foundation daily; one application of bareMinerals ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 wears all day with non-creasing, non-caking performance. Apply in light layers and build coverage as needed. It also provides mineral-based SPF 15 UVA/UVB protection with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

What results should I expect from bareMinerals ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15, and when? 

Immediately, ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 minimizes the look of pores, redness, and texture with all-day wear. 100% of users saw improved skin clarity and brightness immediately* and at 2 weeks, and 97% agreed it minimized fine lines after 1 week*. An independent clinical study also confirmed a reduction in the appearance of pores and improvement in healthier looking skin**.

**Based on an independent clinical study

How do cool, neutral and warm undertones differ when choosing a loose powder foundation shade?

ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15 spans 30 shades across undertones. Choose cool if your skin reads pink/rosy; warm if it reads yellow/golden; neutral if it reads peachy. Shade descriptions on the page follow this logic (for example, “cool skin with a pink hue” or “warm skin with a yellow hue”). Need more guidance? Use the bareMinerals Shade Finder to lock in your match.
