Koh Gen Do was founded in Tokyo by a makeup artist who saw how harsh, cakey foundations damaged skin over time. She created the Maifanshi line to solve this, starting with a single mineral from the volcanic hot springs of Kyushu, Japan. This Gloss Film Foundation was developed for those who want coverage that works *with* their skin, not against it—especially skin stressed by modern environments like air conditioning and screen time. Every batch is tested in Koh Gen Do's Tokyo labs for texture, wear, and skin compatibility. It's a consistent top-seller in Japanese department stores, often described in reviews as the 'my skin but better' foundation for its natural finish.

The Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Gloss Film Foundation SPF30 PA+++ - 9g is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to provide a luminous, long-lasting finish while offering skincare benefits and sun protection. Key ingredients include Maifanshi mineral powder, which is derived from natural minerals and serves to absorb excess oil, impart a soft-focus effect, and enhance skin radiance without clogging pores. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are included as physical sunscreen agents, providing broad-spectrum SPF30 PA+++ protection against UVA and UVB rays, while also offering a gentle, non-irritating option for sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid is incorporated for its humectant properties, helping to attract and retain moisture in the skin, thereby promoting hydration and a plump, dewy appearance. Silicone derivatives, such as dimethicone, are used to create a smooth, even application, fill in fine lines, and form a breathable film that locks in moisture and extends wear time. Botanical extracts, like licorice root and green tea, are added for their antioxidant and soothing benefits, helping to calm the skin and protect against environmental stressors. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to deliver a foundation that not only provides flawless coverage and a glossy finish but also supports skin health through hydration, protection, and a lightweight, comfortable feel.
