"Portland, Oregon-based Alima Pure hit the ground running back in 2004, and it has only become an even more ingredient- and environment-conscious brand in the years since. [...] Alima Pure's Pressed Foundation is a favorite among the brand's fans, garnering rave reviews for both its formula — evening primrose and argan oils are the star ingredients — and its waste-reducing refillable compact."
"If you’re on the hunt for a clean take on foundation, consider this best-selling loose powder formula from Alima Pure. The buildable, satin-matte powder, which comes in 45 shades, is made up of a total of four ingredients—mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides. Many reviewers note it’s especially nice for those with reactive or sensitive skin."
"Alima Pure is the best choice if you’d prefer not to know you’re wearing any foundation at all. Containing just four ingredients, this lightly mattifying powder forms a veil over your skin, rather than sinking into your pores, so your skin can actually breathe. Think silk vs. Spandex, but on your face. "
"Consider this your non-toxic, go-to luxury lipstick. Alima Pure's velvety formula gives incredible color to lips, all while healing chapped skin with nourishing ingredients. [...] you'll want to wear this lipstick every single day."
"The brand boasts a "less is more" mentality, producing mineral-based makeup products with minimal ingredients free of toxins, irritants, or preservatives. Even better: They've managed to thoughtfully formulate a full and inclusive shade range of satin matte foundation, which happens to be their best-selling product."
