Frequently Asked Questions

    • Is this hydrating or mattifying?

      Our Filtered Effects™ Protecting Primer locks in long-lasting hydration while also providing a beautiful satin matte finish that never looks flat or dry. Our formula is packed with banana flower extract, which will smooth and hydrate your skin to provide a perfect canvas for optimal makeup application. Even spirulina maxima extract will condition and nourish the skin to keep your complexion feeling hydrated and healthy. Your skin will love you for wearing it with or without makeup. 

    • What’s the difference between this and traditional sunscreen?

      Our Filtered Effects™ Protecting Primer was designed to create a perfected canvas for optimal makeup application with the added benefit of providing SPF protection. It helps to extend the wear of makeup for up to 16 hours all while smoothing the skin with a blurred, velvet-matte finish that looks freshly applied all day.

    • Will this leave a white cast or cause flashback?

      Our favorite thing about the Filtered Effects™ Protecting Primer is how it applies completely translucent. This is made possible by our dermatologist-tested chemical sunscreen SPF. The formula is even free of octinoxate + oxybenzone, two common sunscreen ingredients that can cause sensitivity and irritation. This also means that our priming sunscreen abides by Hawaii’s Sunscreen Law. Every skin tone can now be protected and moisturized for all-day wear.
