What the brand claims
In the brand’s own words, quoted as written.
“The Banana Loose Powder features an ultra-fine, soft yellow shade that delivers a subtle matte highlight when applied to the cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose, or Cupid’s bow. Formulated without mineral oil or talc, it offers a weightless feel and is ideal for setting makeup or using in the concealer baking technique, with a included sponge for convenient touch-ups.”
