Is this powder safe for sensitive, acne-prone, or dry skin?

The talc-based base works well on normal to oily skin but can be drying or irritating for very sensitive or acne-prone skin, so a patch test is advisable before full application.

What role does mica play in this loose powder?

Mica provides a subtle sheen and translucency, helping to blur imperfections and give the powder a soft, luminous finish without adding color.

How often should the powder be applied and does it contain any controversial ingredients?

It can be dusted lightly after foundation each time makeup is applied, and it does contain parabens (propylparaben and methylparaben) which are preservative agents some consumers consider controversial, as well as talc, which may irritate extremely sensitive skin.
