Description

Earth Surface Primer is a lightweight, plant-based, silicone free facial primer designed to mattify, smooth skin texture, reduce shine, and help makeup stay put.

Just like the Earth’s surface is the ground for all kinds of possibilities, this primer creates a soft, breathable and skin protective base for whatever you may want to layer on top. The finish is soft-matte and lightweight, helping balance shine while leaving skin comfortable and non-greasy.

Skin-supportive minerals like magnesium and zinc help absorb excess oil and keep the complexion looking smooth and even. Rose geranium tones the skin, while light and nourishing plant oils like Abyssinian and buriti help protect and soften the skin.

Wear it alone for a natural, shine-balancing finish or apply before makeup to improve staying power. It also works as a conditioning primer for brows and lashes, adding light grip and subtle thickness.

Suitable for normal, combination, and oil-leaning skin types.

Formulated without synthetic fragrance, silicones, parabens, PEGs, phthalates, petroleum-derived ingredients, talc, or microplastics. No need, friends.

Handmade in Nevada City, California.

Packaged in an amber glass bottle with an aluminum lid and optional pump top, designed for reuse and recycling.
1 fl oz

Ritual

 Intentionally apply a small dab to the cheeks, chin, forehead and beyond to blur, mattify and to build brow and lash thickness. Use by itself for smoothing and sun-protecting benefits or build on your other adornment to enhance staying power.

Shelf Life

Last 6 months. Store in a cool and dry place. Our products are organic and freshly made-to-order skin food. We do not use toxins that make things last forever.

• A face primer under makeup to improve wear and staying power
• A standalone mattifying base for a soft-focus, no-makeup look
• A brow and lash primer to add light grip and thickness before adornment
