The Sublime Mosaic Powder imparts radiance and healthy glow. Comprised of Blush 327, Terracotta Bronzing Powder 342 and a new golden Shine-Up Powder 312, this flattering powder illuminates skin whilst adding a natural tan that structures your face. The three powders can be used simultaneously or separately to create a variety of different looks.
Packaged in a unique, varnished bamboo case, Zao makeup is both a beautiful gift and an item to treasure. Existing customers, please note that we are phasing out our bamboo pouches in which our products were packaged, in order to further reduce waste. These will be phased out as current stocks deplete, but they are now available here for purchase separately for gifting purposes.
Ingredients highlight:
Mineral Cooked Powder
Organic corn starch: This is a vegetable support allowing a better adhesion of the powder on the skin, and thus a better holding of the Makeup. It facilitates the dispersion of pigments and in this way helps the consistency of the complexion on skin.
Vegetal Squalene: Extracted from olive oil, vegetable Squalene is a derivative of squalene, which is a natural component of human sebum. Its excellent affinity with the skin, due to its similarity with natural cutaneous lipids, and its emollient properties make it an ideal active ingredient. It strengthens the cutaneous hydrolipidic barrier, softens the skin and protects it from dehydration.
Organic castor oil: This oil is interesting because it is emollient which allows to soften the skin. It is also moisturizing which increases the water content of the skin and keeps it soft and smooth.
Bamboo powder: It is a white substance extracted from the joints of bamboo. Thanks to its high Silica content, it remineralises, hydrates and participates in the regeneration of your skin while reducing the shine of combination and oily skin.
Compact Blush
Silica: Recognized for its exceptional absorbency, the mineral silica participates in the regeneration of sebum and the hydration of the skin. Silica gives a matte and velvety feel to the skin and blurs wrinkles and imperfections.
Bamboo powder: White substance extracted from the joints of bamboo. Thanks to its high silica content, it remineralises, hydrates and participates in the regeneration of your skin while reducing the shine of combination and oily skin.
Organic shea butter: Shea butter is extracted from shea nuts, a tree growing only in the wild in the savannahs of West Africa. Its composition rich in fatty acid gives it moisturising and nourishing properties.
Organic cocoa butter: Cocoa butter protects the skin from external factors. It helps to maintain hydration because it slows the loss of water by forming a barrier on the surface of the epidermis. It has been used for centuries in Africa as a preventive care to provide suppleness to the skin and also in curative care against dryness.
Shine-Up Powder
Organic rice powder: Rice powder is one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients. It has the ability to mattify the skin without clogging the pores by adjusting the secretion of sebum.
Bamboo powder: White substance extracted from the joints of bamboo. Thanks to its high Silica content, it remineralises, hydrates and participates in the regeneration of your skin while reducing the shine of combination and oily skin.
Organic flaxseed oil: Rich in unsaturated fatty acids (omega 6, omega 3) and vitamins (A, E B, K), this oil is very nourishing and regenerating. Thanks to the macromolecules it contains, it helps to maintain the water in the epidermis and significantly improves its hydration and elasticity.
Olive leaf extract: Olive leaves contain a lot of phenols, antioxidants that neutralize the action of free radicals. Free radicals are active substances that accelerate the ageing of our cells.

We often get asked what the refill dimensions are for those who have their own case. The refill measures 5.5cm diameter. However, using a similarly-sized case is at your own risk as our bamboo cases are designed to precisely fit our refills
To give your complexion a radiant, healthy glow, pick up the 3 shades of the Sublime mosaic with the 702 Powder Brush in a circular motion and apply to the contours of your face. You can also use the three shades of Sublime mosaic separately; the lightest one to illuminate certain areas (chin, cupid’s bow, nose etc.), the pink one as a blush and the brown one as a terracotta bronzing powder to structure the shape of the face.
