Zao's new Blush Sticks are a cream blush in stick format, featuring intense pigmentation with a creamy texture that is easy to apply and blend!

Perfect for those with dry or mature skin, these new bluish sticks glide over skin for a perfect finish. Organic castor oil and organic jojoba oil are used for their softening and regenerative properties. This product can be also be used on lips for a light and subtle colour. 

This product, as with all ZAO products, is free from talc and parabens (synthetic preservatives), using instead micronised silver as an effective and non-toxic preservative. ZAO does not use nanoparticles in their products, with the micronised silver being larger than nanoparticle size, making ZAO products safe and free from toxic chemical preservatives.

HOW TO USE - Apply the Blush Stick before or after applying powder, depending on desired finish. For a glowing effect, apply after compact powder and blend with a blender sponge or fingers. Apply directly to cheeks with a smoothing motion to blend. For a long-lasting matt effect, apply foundation and/or concealer first, then smooth the Blush Stick onto cheeks and blend with blender sponge or fingers. Finally, powder with Mineral Silk or Compact Powder to create a long-lasting matt effect. 

MY FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS

• Organic castor oil - Thus oil has softening and regenerative properties to soothe delicate skin that is prone to dryness. Ricinoleic acid, an active component of castor oil, is reputed to inhibit microbe growth and so this ingredient has purifying properties. 

• Organic jojoba oil - Its calming and softening properties leave skin feeling nourished but not greasy, penetrating easily into skin to offer protection against dehydration and wrinkles. This ingredient reinforces skin’s hydrophilic film and regulates sebum. 

• Organic carnauba wax - This ingredient, which comes from secretions of palm trees native to Brazil, is a film-forming agent that protects skin with a continuous film, as well as making makeup last longer. 

HOW TO REFILL?

All of Zao products are refillable and with Zao making great changes to their packaging, most are now plastic free! Can't see a refill available on my site? It's because Zao haven't brought out their plastic free option yet, but as soon as they do, it will be available at Plastic Freedom!
