Therapium VELOURIS™ Smoothing Foundation — 15 Light Cool

Semi-matte peptide foundation in shade 15 Light Cool.

A buildable liquid foundation with Hexapeptide-11, organic aloe leaf juice and mineral pigments, drying down to a self-setting semi-matte finish in a 30 ml tube.

What it does

  • Even-looking, buildable coverage — mineral pigments in shade 15 Light Cool unify light skin with a fresh, cool pink cast.
  • Velvety, self-setting semi-matte finish — kaolin and rice starch absorb surface shine, so the texture sets on its own and does not need powdering over.
  • Hydration in the formula — organic aloe leaf juice heads the list, with glycerin and sodium PCA, to help skin feel comfortable under the foundation.
  • 30 mltube
  • 10shades across 3 undertones
  • 2weights of hyaluronic acid

How to use

  1. 1Warm a small amount on the back of your hand
  2. 2Press onto the centre of the face and blend outwards
  3. 3Build a second thin layer where you want more coverage

Smooth, velvety finish in 15 Light Cool

A buildable, semi-matte liquid foundation in shade 15 Light Cool that evens the look of light skin with a delicate pink undertone.

Visible benefits

Colour & finish

  • Even-looking coverage — titanium dioxide pigment softens the look of uneven tone.

Hydration

  • Light moisture without weight — butylene glycol attracts water to the surface.

Texture & pores

  • Smooth, even blending — organic beeswax and lecithin hold the texture together, so it glides on and blends evenly.
  • Less shine, more refined-looking pores — kaolin clay absorbs excess oil.
  • A velvety, matte feel — rice starch absorbs surface shine.
  • Fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel — light plant-derived emollients.

Soothing & comfort

  • A soothing, refreshing feel — aloe leaf juice comforts the skin as it hydrates.

Barrier & protection

  • A protective, comforting feel — beeswax forms a breathable layer that helps keep moisture in.

  4. Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch Plant starch

    velvety texture and self-setting effect

  5. Cera Alba (Beeswax) Natural wax

    provides cushion and smooth glide

  6. Hexapeptide-11 Peptide

  7. CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) Mineral pigment

What the science says

Organic aloe vera juice — In research on moisturising creams, versions containing aloe raised the water content of the outermost skin layer after 2 weeks, compared with the same cream without aloe. [1]

Glycerin — Research on glycerin found that it improves hydration of the outermost skin layer, the skin's moisture barrier and its softness and suppleness. [2]

These studies look at aloe and glycerin in general, not at our foundation. Organic aloe leaf juice is the first ingredient and glycerin is ingredient 8 of 46. Hexapeptide-11 is ingredient 30, after the fragrance, and the two forms of hyaluronic acid are 32 and 33, so they are present in small amounts and we do not credit them with a visible effect. Kaolin and rice starch soak up surface shine; we make no claim about oil regulation. Contains beeswax, so it is not vegan.

These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.

Your routine

  1. Warm a small amount on the back of your hand.
  2. Dot onto the centre of the face and blend outwards along the jawline using fingertips, a brush or a damp sponge.
  3. Allow approximately twenty minutes to set and adjust to skin oils before evaluating the match.
  4. Build a second thin layer only where additional coverage is desired.

Who it's for

Light skin with cool pink undertones where warm foundations tend to look orange. Pairs with Concealer 05 Light Cool under the eyes and 15 Medium Cool on blemishes.

Good to know

  • Shade: 15 Light Cool, the third of ten. Every shade shares the same formula and the same INCI list — only the pigment load changes.
  • Contains organic beeswax, so it is not vegan. The concealer is.
  • The citrus peel oils bring naturally occurring fragrance allergens with them — limonene, linalool and citral are declared on the list.
  • How to choose a shade without seeing it covers the undertone tests in more detail.

Is this your shade?

Cool means pink or slightly blue rather than golden — silver flatters you more than gold, and warm foundations tend to look orange on you rather than invisible. There are only two cool shades in the range, 15 and 50, so if you are cool at light depth this is the one.

  • If you are between shades — take the lighter one, because the formula is buildable and oxidation moves the finish darker rather than lighter.
  • Pink is not the same as fair. Depth and undertone are separate: you can be cool at any depth. Test on the jawline in daylight rather than assuming.
  • Pair it with Concealer 05 Light Cool under the eye — the same cool undertone — and 15 Medium Cool on blemishes.
  • Either side — 10 Light Warm is the same depth in warm, 20 Medium Neutral is the next step deeper.

Scent

A light citrus note, from bergamot, lemon and bitter orange peel oils.

Questions

The questions people actually ask

Short answers from what is printed on the pack. If what you need is not here, ask us before you buy rather than after.

Answers refer to the formula printed on the pack you receive.

How should I apply VELOURIS™ Foundation?

Warm a small amount on the back of the hand. Press onto the centre of the face and blend outwards with fingers, a brush or a damp sponge. Build a second thin layer where you want more coverage.

Is shade 15 Light Cool right for me?

Shade 15 Light Cool has a pink cast, suited for light skin with cool undertones. If silver jewellery flatters you more than gold, and warm foundations look orange on you, this is your shade.

Does this foundation need powder to set?

No. Natural kaolin clay and rice starch allow the texture to set by itself to a semi-matte finish. You only need powder over it if you prefer a flatter finish.

Does the foundation oxidise after application?

Over the first fifteen to thirty minutes formulas may shift slightly darker and warmer as they meet skin oils and air. Judge the colour match after twenty minutes rather than immediately.

Does it contain fragrance?

Yes, a light citrus note from bergamot, lemon and bitter orange peel oils. Limonene, linalool and citral are declared on the list.

Is it vegan and certified?

It is certified COSMOS NATURAL by Ecocert Greenlife. It contains organic beeswax, so it is not vegan.

How much is in the tube?

30 ml, in a tube.
