Minori Cream Blush
by Minori · makeup
Editor's Take
Smooth, blurred color is the win here, but Ceresin and Nylon-12 make this more conventional than the clean positioning might suggest.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.4 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 5.8 / 10
- Clean Standards: 7.5 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 6.9 / 10
The Verdict
Efficacy is Strong at 7.4, with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride giving glide and Disteardimonium Hectorite keeping pigments evenly suspended for patch-free cream-to-powder application. Clean is Strong at 7.5, though Nylon-12 and synthetic lake dyes keep it outside stricter clean standards. Technology is Some Modern Features at 5.8, while sustainability is Mixed at 6.9 because Ceresin and Polybutene lean on petrochemical feedstocks. A credible pick for smooth everyday blush, not a green-formulation credible.
