withSimplicity Organic Liquid Foundation

This organic, vegan liquid foundation gives light-to-medium, buildable coverage with a soft, natural finish that still looks like real skin. It blends easily, feels breathable, and is made without silicones, PFAS, synthetic dyes, or heavy fillers — a great low-tox swap for everyday makeup. The formula is hydrating, calming, and gentle enough for sensitive skin thanks to its botanical base of aloe, shea, rice powder, and plant extracts.

What I Like

  • Lightweight and breathable — truly feels like you have nothing on.

  • Aloe, shea, and squalane help hydrate the skin and keep it comfortable throughout the day.

  • Blends smoothly with buildable coverage that never looks heavy or cakey.

  • Clean, simplified ingredient profile — no silicones, PFAS, synthetic dyes, or harsh fillers.

  • A gentle option for sensitive, breakout-prone, or reactive skin since it avoids many common irritants.

  • EWG Rating: 4 — this score is tied to chamomile, thyme, and lecithin due to processing contamination flags, not because these certified organic ingredients are inherently high-tox.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Coverage is light to medium—deeper discoloration may still require concealer or layering.

  • Because this is a botanical formula rather than silicone-based, the finish is natural and skin-like rather than fully matte.

  • Goldenseal is included (in small cosmetic amounts); very reactive skin types may want to patch test.

  • Botanical extracts can be stimulating on compromised skin barriers.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

Most of the base ingredients — including aloe, glycerin, shea butter, squalane, rice powder, mineral pigments, vitamin E, and candelilla wax — are widely considered low risk for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The formula does include chamomile, thyme, rosemary, lavender, and goldenseal:

  • These ingredients raise EWG scores due to sensitization and contamination concerns, not systemic toxicity.

  • Goldenseal is a concern only when taken orally; at cosmetic-level topical amounts, absorption is minimal.

  • As always, skin sensitivity can increase during pregnancy or postpartum, so patch testing is recommended.
