Delilah Time Frame Future Resist Foundation SPF20 Nutmeg 38ml

Description
Foundation SPF20 for medium-dark skin with a neutral warm undertone
Between medium and dark lies a skin category that rarely gets the attention it deserves: olive-warm skin types, bronzed skin, and skin with a rich nutmeg glow. Foundations for this undertone often turn too orange or shift to gray once the formula oxidizes. The art lies in the exact balance between warmth and neutrality. Nutmeg is tuned to this — deep but never heavy, warm without red.
Besides the carefully calibrated shade, Time Frame offers genuine skincare benefits. Peptides support skin elasticity, vitamin E protects against free radicals, and broad-spectrum SPF 20 prevents UV-induced pigment changes — a concern often visible in olive-warm skin types as hyperpigmentation around the cheekbones or in the melasma area.
Color: A rich medium-dark shade with a warm nutmeg undertone, ideal for olive-warm or bronzed skin without orange or gray effect.
Benefits
- Nutmeg captures the natural nutmeg-colored warmth of olive-bronzed skin
- Peptide complex with Tripeptide-3 and Hexapeptide-3 strengthens skin elasticity
- Vitamin E protects against free radicals and helps prevent hyperpigmentation
- Broad-spectrum SPF 20 reduces the risk of UV-induced dark spots
- Luminous finish prevents the matte, lifeless effect that many foundations cause
Active ingredients
Tripeptide-3 & Hexapeptide-3: These signaling peptides stimulate skin cells to produce collagen and contribute to a firmer, more youthful-looking skin texture. For olive-warm skin types that often retain their natural resilience for a long time, this effect is a valuable addition to the existing skincare routine.
Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E): A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative damage caused by sun exposure and pollution. In olive-bronzed skin types, vitamin E plays an important role in combating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — two common challenges for this skin category.
Titanium Dioxide (SPF 20 broad spectrum): A mineral UV filter that reflects UVA and UVB rays instead of absorbing them. Although olive-warm skin naturally has more melanin protection, daily SPF remains essential to prevent hyperpigmentation and premature aging, which in these skin types mainly appear as uneven pigmentation.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A soothing emollient derived from coconut that helps the foundation spread smoothly and hydrates the skin. It enhances the natural glow of olive-bronzed skin instead of dulling it with a matte powdery layer.

Frequently asked questions
Does Nutmeg match my skin tone?
Nutmeg suits a medium-dark skin with warm to neutral undertones — think olive-warm, bronzed, or nutmeg-colored skin. Look at your skin’s natural glow in daylight: if you see a warm amber to brownish shine, Nutmeg is likely suitable. If you’re unsure between Maple and Nutmeg: Nutmeg is clearly darker and slightly more neutral in character. Between Nutmeg and Chestnut: Chestnut is deeper and warmer with more red undertone.
Does Nutmeg oxidize to orange or gray during the day?
No. The formula is deliberately calibrated to remain stable throughout the day. Many foundations in this mid-range shift to orange (too warm) or gray (too cool) — Nutmeg maintains the neutral warmth of the original without losing that balance.
Does Nutmeg help camouflage hyperpigmentation?
Nutmeg offers light to medium coverage that visibly smooths uneven pigmentation. For deeper pigment spots, you can apply a matching concealer spotwise before the foundation. Additionally, the combination of vitamin E and broad-spectrum SPF helps prevent new spots over time, which is especially valuable for olive-warm skin types.
