Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Tinted Moisturizer
I have been using Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Tinted Moisturizer for a few months and finally have came to a good conclusion on this product and I feel like it deserves a review! I have never tried Physicians Formula foundations before and decided to try this one in particular for a very good reason: It's Organic! Well 80% are USDA Organic actually but '100% Natural' is what it is labeled. My goal is to eventually switch my beauty and cosmetics over to Organic and 'green' products that are good for my body and low on chemicals.
So what does 100% Natural mean? Here are the products ingredients: ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: TITANIUM DIOXIDE. INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS (ORANGE) FRUIT WATER*, ALCOHOL SD (DENATURED WITH CERTIFIED ORGANIC LAVENDER OIL)*, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL*, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL*, PERSEA GRATISSIMA (AVOCADO) OIL*, LECITHIN (SOYBEAN)*, CANNABIS SATIVA SEED OIL*, TALC, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA BUTTER)*, OLEA EURPOAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT UNSAPONIFIABLES, GARCINIA INDICA SEED BUTTER, ALGINIC ACID, ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETEARYL WHEAT BRAN GLUCOSIDES, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, HYDRATED SILICA, IRON OXIDE, XANTHAN GUM.
The only ingredient that seems questionable is the Talc. Talc is known to be a common irritant to some and also the question of it's safety in cosmetics is still in the air. But in comparison to the say, MAC foundation these ingredients are so wonderful and we can feel good about putting in on our skin everyday.
This tinted moisturizer has a SPF of 15 that is from a mineral and not a chemical which is awesome! It has a very very thin consistency and is easily blendable. You MUST love the scent of Lavender oil or this scent will totally turn you off! Luckily I'm okay with the scent, there are many who think the scent ruins the product for them.
This tinted moisturizer comes in a few shades, Ivory to Fair, Fair to Light, Light to Natural, and Natural to Tan. My skin color goes from light to tan throughout the months and I can usually make Light to Natural work well for me. The colors seem to blend fairly well with some finishing powder.
Ok for the wearability and coverage: I would recommend this products only for day/casual wear. The coverage is light and does an okay job of hiding small blemishes. The finish for me is very dewy! Whatever you do, do not wear this over another moisturizer you will look so oily/sweaty. This definitely needs a finishing powder unless you want the, just ran a mile on the treadmill in the heat glow. This tinted moisturizer is perfect for wearing when your just hanging out at home or by the pool, going to an outdoors day activity like park or hiking, running errands during the day or if you wear a very low maintenance look to work. It's likely you will need to do oil blotting and powder touch-ups every few hours.
Over all I'm going to give this product a solid 4 Stars. Yes it requires a lot of touching up, and the coverage isn't great but it is a tinted moisturizer after all and the ingredients are Amazing! I will continue to keep purchasing this for my casual and daytime beauty regimen. It's a keeper! You can read more about this producthere on the Pysicians Formula website.
