KOSÉ was founded in Tokyo in 1946 with a simple goal: to create skincare that works for real life. The Esprique Eclat Powder Foundation EX was developed in our Japanese labs to solve a modern problem: how to get a flawless, radiant finish that also cares for your skin, especially as daily stress and environmental factors take their toll. Our researchers focused on a formula that combines high-coverage pigments with anti-aging skincare ingredients, all manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in Japan. This foundation isn't just makeup; it's a top-ranked, award-winning hybrid product in Japan, trusted for its dual-action performance that delivers both immediate beauty and long-term skin support.

Kose Esprique Eclat Powder Foundation EX SPF 22 PA++ - Radiant Anti-Aging Finish is formulated with a sophisticated blend of ingredients designed to provide both cosmetic enhancement and skincare benefits. Key components include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which serve as physical sunscreens to offer broad-spectrum UV protection (SPF 22 PA++), helping to prevent photoaging and sun damage. The foundation incorporates silica and talc for a smooth, lightweight texture that absorbs excess oil and minimizes the appearance of pores, ensuring a long-lasting, matte finish. To deliver its radiant anti-aging properties, it contains hyaluronic acid and collagen derivatives, which hydrate the skin and improve elasticity, reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, antioxidants like vitamin E are included to neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental stressors. The product also features mica and pearl powder to impart a luminous glow and enhance skin radiance, while various emollients and binders ensure even application and adherence to the skin. Overall, these ingredients work synergistically to provide coverage, sun protection, hydration, and anti-aging benefits, making it suitable for mature or dry skin types seeking a youthful, radiant complexion.
