Sisley unveils powder with skin care benefits

Published: 22-Jul-2010

Sisley’s new Phyto-Poudre Compacte is said to combine long wearing sheer coverage with the benefits of the brand’s iconic skin care. The powder is described as moisturising, protective and soothing and contains camellia oil and extracts of mallow and linden, along with micronised talc enhanced with a double silicone coating, which is said to create a smoother application as well as helping to absorb excess sebum. In addition lecithin helps protect against dryness, while synthetic micas help to enhance the complexion and minimise the appearance of imperfections.

The powder is available in three shades – transparent matte, transparent irisée and sable – and is housed in a case topped with a tortoiseshell effect coating. Each compact is said to be hand stencilled and also features a mirror inside.
