• Gentle, skin-friendly formula suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin; free of mineral oil, parabens, and silicone.
• Vegan and skincare-forward—a mindful approach to makeup that respects the skin and the planet.

Who should consider this foundation

Ideal for anyone seeking a breathable, everyday foundation that looks like real skin yet offers adjustable coverage. It’s particularly well-suited for those who want a luminous, natural complexion with skincare benefits carried into daily wear. If you have sensitive skin or prefer a vegan, silicone-free option, Salzburg is a strong match.

How to use for best results

• Apply a small pump to the center of the face, then blend outward with a brush, sponge, or fingers for a seamless, skin-like finish.
• Start with a light layer for a natural look; build in thin coats where you want more coverage without sacrificing the breathable feel.
• Pair with a lightweight primer for longevity in warmer weather or longer days, then set lightly with a translucent powder if you prefer a matte edge.
• Re-apply as needed during the day for touch-ups, letting the formula sit for a moment to settle for a more even appearance.
