Summer BB Cream
When the weather changes, your makeup should too.
$45.60
Our BB Cream, rebuilt for heat. Formulated to hold on oily skin when the humidity climbs — the days when everything else slides by lunchtime.

Makeup should understand the weather.
Skin changes.
Humidity changes.
Oil production changes.
Your makeup should change too.
Using exactly the same formula in every season doesn't make sense.
That's why there are two.
Some makeup is made for a mirror.
This one is made for summer.
You know the walk from the car to the door. Eight minutes, and by the time you're inside your face has moved — settled into the creases, gone shiny across the nose, separated where your skin is warmest.
Most base makeup is formulated for a temperate room. This one wasn't.
Same brand. Same commitments. A different set of conditions.
The Organic BB Cream was never supposed to do this job.
Winter skin asks for comfort.
Summer skin asks for restraint.
This is the version that understands the difference.
Built for the months your Organic BB Cream happily hands over the baton.
You stop checking your face at three o'clock.
Made the same way.
Find your match.
Five shades. Discover yours.
Luminous Light
Beautiful neutral shade that suits most fair skin tones.
Olive Fair
Our lightest olive shade.
Medium Glow
Perfect for those with slightly warm, light tan complexions.

Our mid-olive shade with golden undertones.
Caramel Tan
Deeper tan tone for those with caramel skin tones.
The shade guarantee
Your shade,
without the gamble.
Your full size stays sealed until you know.
Every complexion order arrives with a sample of your chosen shade. Try the sample first, wear it in daylight, and make sure it feels right. If it doesn't, we'll swap your unopened full size for a better match.
Wrong shade? We'll make it right.
No exchange fee. No awkward explanation. Just a better match.
Why it holds
in the heat.
Certified organic, and light enough that it doesn't add weight to a summer base.
The first ingredient on the list. Soothing on skin that's been in the sun and the wind all day.
Japanese green tea, paired with cucumber. Both are here to settle the look of heat in the skin.
Three of the list. The rest is on the ingredients tab, in full.
The line we hold
We don't make exceptions.
A summer formula was a reason a lot of brands would have reached for titanium dioxide. It's cheap, it's opaque, and it's what the category defaults to. We reformulated around it instead, the way we have since 2013.
Also free from talc, bismuth oxychloride, silicones, parabens, phthalates, PFAS, synthetic fragrance and nanoparticles.
Recognition, not performance
Where the Summer BB Cream lives.
In the bag, not on the shelf. For as long as the heat lasts.
This is the one that goes to the beach and comes back.
The one that lives through a Queensland summer and a school pick-up at three in the afternoon.
At the gym
Early morning swim
Your questions, answered
Which BB Cream is mine?
Most people own both,and swap with the season.
Formulated to hold to skin that produces oil in heat and humidity. The Organic BB Cream is richer and better on dry or normal skin in mild conditions. Most people who own both keep the Organic one for the cooler months and switch to this when the weather turns.
It will, but it isn't playing to its strengths. On dry skin in cool weather you may want the Organic BB Cream, or a drop of Skin Guardian underneath this one. It's a formula built for a specific set of conditions, and it's honest to say so.
Yes. The shade names are the same on both, so Luminous Light here is Luminous Light there. The summer formula comes in five of the Organic BB Cream's seven shades. If yours is Peach Bisque or Sand Beige, the Organic BB Cream carries it, and using a little less Skin Guardian underneath will get you most of the way through a warm day.
Every full size ships with a sample in your chosen shade. Wear it for a day before you open the pump. If it isn't right, send the unopened pump back and we'll swap it for the shade that is — no fees.
Buy the airless pump once. After that you buy the refill, which is the same formula at a lower price with far less packaging. The pump keeps the formula sealed from light and air, which matters more in summer than it does in winter.
Yes. Every shade, every batch, since 2013 — including this one, where a titanium dioxide formula would have been the easier road.
“Lasts 12 hours in Miami. No matter how much I sweat, it never irritates my ridiculously sensitive skin.”

Three ways to find the one.
Every full size includes a sample in your shade. Confirm before you open the pump.
Three steps
Build your ritual.
What goes before, what goes after.
Less product,more often.
The summer rule.
A drop into damp skin. Use less than you would in winter — oil under a summer base is the fastest way to make it move.
Start at the centre of the face and work outward. Warm hands help it grip; a brush gives a slightly lighter result.
Thin layers hold better than one thick one. This is the whole trick in humid weather.
Press, don't sweep, with a fluffy brush. Forehead, nose, chin. Leave the cheeks alone unless they need it.
Two minutes, the way Kailah does it.
What's in it.What isn't.

Every Ingredient.Every Purpose.
Nothing is here because it's conventional or inexpensive. Each one does a job you can point at.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Certified Organic)
The base of the formula, and the first thing on the list. Soothing on skin that's spent the day in sun and wind.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (Certified Organic)
A light oil that carries the minerals without adding weight. Part of why this sits thinner than the Organic BB Cream.
Glycerin (Certified Organic)
Draws water into the skin, so a lighter formula doesn't leave it feeling stripped.
Zinc Oxide
The coverage, and the calm. Settles the look of redness rather than painting over it. Never titanium dioxide.
Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract (Certified Organic)
Paired with green tea. Both are here for skin that runs warm and reactive in summer.
Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan Olivate (Olive Wax, Certified Organic)
The emulsifier — olive-derived, and what holds the oil and water phases together through a hot day.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
A small amount, for slip. Enough that the formula spreads easily, not enough to make it heavy.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (Certified Organic)
Closest of any plant oil to what skin makes itself, which is why it sits well on skin that already produces plenty.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract (Certified Organic)
Japanese green tea. An antioxidant, and one of the two botanicals doing the settling work in this formula.
Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil
Fine and fast-absorbing. Adds softness without sitting on the surface.
Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil (Certified Organic)
Light enough for a summer base, and the reason the finish doesn't read flat.
Mica
Diffuses light across the skin so texture reads softer, without visible shimmer. Ethically sourced from certified child-labour-free mines.
Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil (Certified Organic)
Cold pressed, carried at a low level, and used across the range.
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate (Certified Organic)
The preservative system. A ferment rather than a synthetic — which matters more in a water-based formula than most people realise.
Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)
The colour. Three mineral pigments, blended in-house to build all five shades.
