Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation
by Ilia · skin_care
Editor's Take
A mineral SPF 40 foundation that skips silicones entirely, built around Squalane and plant esters with real Niacinamide and dual-weight Hyaluronic Acid at active levels.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 8.4 / 10
- Modern Tech: 8.5 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 9.5 / 10
- Sustainability: 7.3 / 10
The Verdict
This is a genuinely advanced hybrid , the formula delivers highly advanced technology and excellent efficacy by suspending mineral UV filters in a silicone-free, plant-based emulsion system, not the usual Dimethicone slip. The clean score is exceptional, held back only by a single synthetic SPF booster and a petrochemical solvent, both functional-tier. Sustainability is good, anchored by renewable Squalane, Shea esters, and a biodegradable emollient base. Worth it if you want mineral protection with real skincare actives in a modern, silicone-free formula.
