This foundation’s powder texture allows you to easily switch between an effortless matte look and high-coverage drama, without any cakey-ness.
Now available in 40 versatile and refillable shades, Tea Tree Face Base controls oil and shine for a fresh-faced and mattified look, with 12 hours of long-lasting coverage – so no need to top up .
Newly enriched with Community Fair Trade tea tree oil from Kenya known for its naturally purifying properties, our powder foundation helps skin look clearer and is non-comedogenic. Sweat- and humidity-resistant, it conceals blemishes and helps even the appearance of skin tone.
Not only does it battle imperfections, this lightweight and non-drying base doesn’t settle into fine lines, creases or pores, so your skin stays smooth-looking, and coverage remains even throughout the day.
For a natural looking finish, apply with the included sponge while dry and then just let your natural confidence shine through. For full coverage, build as required to enjoy a more mattified, flawless finish.

Community Fair Trade Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is the holy grail for oily and blemished skin, thanks to its naturally purifying talents.

Community Fair Trade tea tree oil
Small but mighty
Known for its naturally purifying prowess, tea tree oil has always been a winner for oily and blemished skin. That’s why we love it in our Tea Tree skincare range.
Our Community Fair Trade tea tree oil is sustainably sourced in Kenya. We partner with a number of independent farmers who steam-distil the leaves within 12 hours of harvest, to make sure we’re bottling our purest and most potent oil. The oil from around 15,000 tea tree leaves goes into every 20ml bottle of Tea Tree Oil.
We take a lot of pride in making sure we source the highest quality ingredients, while making sure they’re having a positive impact on people and the planet.
Our trade provides a fair price and stable income to hundreds of farmers belonging to Kutoka Ardhini (which means ‘from the ground’ in Swahili) in rural Kenya, where employment opportunities are low.
