(Re)Setting Mineral Powder SPF 35
Product Description
Supergoop! (Re)Setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 is a weightless, talc-free setting powder built around 24.7% non-nano Zinc Oxide. Its twist-lock built-in brush lets you set makeup, mattify shine, and reapply broad-spectrum SPF over a full face of makeup β without smudging β making it the answer to the hardest question in sun care: how do you actually re-apply sunscreen mid-day?
β¨ Texture & Feel
100% Mineral Defense
Powered by 24.7% non-nano Zinc Oxide for true broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection β the broadest filter approved by the FDA.
Reapply Over Makeup
A built-in twist-lock brush dispenses a precise dose so you can refresh SPF on the go without disturbing foundation.
Barrier-Supporting
Ceramide NP and Olive Glycerides help seal in moisture and offset the drying feel of a traditional setting powder.
Soft-Focus Blur
Coated silica spheres and PMMA microspheres scatter light to diffuse pores and mattify shine for a smooth finish.
π‘οΈ Safety & Compatibility
100% mineral filter with no chemical UV absorbers, retinoids, salicylic acid or hydroquinone. Generally considered a safe choice during pregnancy.
Contains Olive Glycerides, Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate, Lauroyl Lysine and Ascorbyl Palmitate, which may feed malassezia in those prone to fungal acne.
Zinc-oxide-based, oil-free and talc-free. Rated very low (1/5) for pore-clogging potential and suited to acne-prone skin.
Fragrance-free and free of the top common allergens. Zinc oxide soothes and rarely stings eyes, ideal for reactive skin.
As a top step, it sits over retinol, vitamin C, AHA/BHA serums applied earlier in your routine without interaction.
Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate. Uses non-nano zinc oxide that stays on the skin surface rather than penetrating.
π¬ Ingredient Breakdown
βοΈ Zinc Oxide 24.7% Proven
The sole active and the heart of the formula. Zinc oxide is a 100% mineral, non-nano broad-spectrum filter that physically shields skin from UVB, UVAII and UVAI.
- FDA: Zinc oxide is the broadest-spectrum UV filter approved as GRASE (generally recognized as safe and effective).
- Photostability: Highly photostable, so it won't degrade quickly in sunlight.
- Research: Non-nano particles remain on the stratum corneum and do not penetrate intact skin.
π Ascorbyl Palmitate Antioxidant Promising
An oil-soluble, stable derivative of Vitamin C. It adds antioxidant defense against free radicals generated by UV and pollution, and may help with the look of uneven tone.
- Stability: More resistant to light degradation than pure L-ascorbic acid.
- Note: Penetrates skin less efficiently than pure vitamin C, so it works mainly as a surface antioxidant here.
𧱠Ceramide NP (Ceramide 3) Barrier Proven
An intercellular lipid identical to those in your own skin. Ceramides bond skin cells together, lock in water and reinforce the moisture barrier β countering the drying tendency of powders.
- Function: A stronger barrier helps skin look firmer and more hydrated and buffers irritation.
π« Olive Glycerides Emollient Promising
An olive-derived emollient that helps seal in moisture and soften the powder's feel on skin so it doesn't read chalky.
π«οΈ Silica & PMMA Spheres Blur Proven
Fine, porous silica absorbs excess oil and smooths texture, while transparent PMMA microspheres scatter light to soften fine lines and blur the appearance of pores.
- Texture: Coated silica spheres create the signature soft-focus, mattifying finish.
π Boron Nitride & Borosilicates Adherence Proven
Boron Nitride adds slip and oil absorption for long wear, while Calcium Aluminum and Calcium Sodium Borosilicate act as light-reflecting bulking agents that help the powder glide and last.
17 ingredients
Active: Zinc Oxide 24.7%. Inactive: Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Lauroyl Lysine, Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate, Boron Nitride, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Nylon-6/12, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Olive Glycerides, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ceramide NP (Ceramide 3). May Contain: Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499).
π Where It Fits in Your Routine
Use it as the final step to set makeup, then keep it in your bag to reapply SPF every 2 hours. It is a top-up and finishing layer, not a replacement for your morning base sunscreen.
π How to Use
Activate the brush
Remove the cap, slide down the clear sleeve and discard the yellow pin. Twist the body from CLOSED to OPEN.
Get the powder flowing
Tilt and tap the brush gently against your wrist until you see powder come through the bristles.
Sweep generously
Brush evenly over the entire face. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and don't skimp β adequate coverage is needed for SPF protection.
Reapply through the day
Re-dust every 2 hours, and after swimming or heavy sweating, to maintain protection and control shine.
π€ Who Is It For?
β Perfect for you if:
- You wear makeup and need to reapply SPF without ruining it
- You have oily or combination skin and want shine control
- You have sensitive skin or react to chemical sunscreens
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding and want a mineral option
- You want a mess-free, travel-sized touch-up tool
β Consider alternatives if:
- You want your only/primary daily sunscreen (use a liquid base first)
- You have very dry skin and prefer a dewy, glowy finish
- You are prone to fungal acne (malassezia)
- You need full, buildable foundation-level coverage
- You want a large quantity for the price
π― Skin Type Compatibility
Silica and boron nitride absorb oil and deliver a long-lasting matte finish β a standout for shine control.
Mattifies the T-zone while ceramides keep drier areas comfortable. Easy to apply only where needed.
Fragrance-free, allergen-conscious and soothing zinc oxide make this gentle on reactive skin.
Ceramides soften the drying effect, but a powder can still emphasize dry patches. Apply over a hydrating SPF base.
Non-comedogenic, oil-free and talc-free. Great for breakout-prone skin β but not fungal-acne safe.

β Frequently Asked Questions
It is generally considered a pregnancy- and breastfeeding-friendly option. The only UV active is mineral zinc oxide, and the formula contains no chemical sunscreen filters, retinoids, salicylic acid or hydroquinone. As always, check with your doctor for guidance specific to you.
No. It contains a few ingredients flagged as potential malassezia triggers β Olive Glycerides, Polyglyceryl-10 Pentaisostearate, Lauroyl Lysine and Ascorbyl Palmitate. If you are prone to fungal acne, you may want to choose a stripped-back mineral powder instead.
Yes. This is a finishing/top-up step that sits on top of your makeup, so it doesn't interfere with active serums applied earlier. In fact, daily SPF reapplication is exactly what your skin needs while using retinol or exfoliating acids, which increase sun sensitivity.
It shines on oily, combination and sensitive skin thanks to its mattifying, fragrance-free formula. Dry skin can use it too, but should apply a hydrating SPF or moisturizer underneath, since powders can emphasize dry patches.
The cosmetic results β reduced shine, blurred pores and a smooth matte finish β are immediate. The protective benefit is ongoing: consistent SPF reapplication helps guard against sunburn, dark spots and premature aging over time.
It's the very last step. Apply your skincare, a liquid SPF base and makeup first, then dust the powder over the top to set everything. Carry it with you and reapply every two hours throughout the day.
It rates very low (around 1/5) for comedogenicity. The formula is oil-free, talc-free and built on non-comedogenic zinc oxide, making it a sound choice for acne-prone and breakout-prone skin.
Around 12 months after opening (check the PAO symbol on the packaging). Because it is a powder with no water, it resists microbial growth well β just keep the brush twisted closed and store it somewhere cool and dry.
Verdict: The Supergoop! (Re)Setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 35 is the gold-standard answer to reapplying sunscreen over makeup. It's lightweight, genuinely mattifying, sensitive-skin and pregnancy friendly, and thoughtfully spiked with ceramides and vitamin C. The trade-offs are a small size for the $35 price, a limited shade range, and the fact that you must apply enough for it to count as real protection β so treat it as a top-up over a liquid SPF base rather than your only line of defense. For oily and combination skin that wears makeup, it's close to essential.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
