Description
Pressed mineral foundation for medium skin with neutral undertone
A medium skin tone with a neutral undertone is perhaps the hardest to truly match. The skin is neither distinctly warm nor cool but sits right in the middle — meaning many foundations turn too yellow or too pink on the face. The result: a mask effect or an unnatural color transition at the jawline.
The PUR 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup in Golden Medium MN5 is specially developed for this balanced undertone. The mineral pigments blend seamlessly over the skin and provide a natural finish with buildable medium coverage, while the nourishing complex feeds and protects the skin throughout the day.
Benefits
- 4-in-1 formula: foundation, concealer, powder, and mineral SPF 15 in one compact
- Medium coverage, buildable for extra correction where needed
- Contains Ceretin Complex with retinol, ceramides, and lactic acid for visibly smoother skin
- Breathable, lightweight texture that never feels cakey or heavy
- Vegan, cruelty-free, and free from talc, parabens, sulfates, and mineral oil
Active ingredients
Ceretin Complex: A patented combination of encapsulated retinol, ceramides, and lactic acid. Retinol stimulates cell renewal and helps reduce fine lines and imperfections, while ceramides strengthen the skin barrier and lactic acid gently exfoliates for a smoother texture. Because the retinol is encapsulated, it is released gradually, keeping the formula suitable for daily use.
Titanium Dioxide 9.3%: The mineral UV filter that provides broad-spectrum SPF 15 protection against UVA and UVB. Unlike chemical filters, titanium dioxide works immediately upon application and is very well tolerated by sensitive skin.
Waltheria Extract: A plant-based active from the Waltheria Indica plant that targets pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone. Helps brighten the skin and provides a more even appearance with continued use.
Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): A powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals caused by air pollution and blue light. Nourishes the skin and softens texture, allowing the powder to adhere smoothly without drying out.
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and F. Keeps the skin hydrated under makeup and prevents the powder from settling into dry spots or fine lines — a common issue with mineral powders without a nourishing base.
Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract & Bamboo Extract: Plant-based actives that help support skin firmness and soothe the skin. Especially valuable for medium skin that may react sensitively to weather and stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if MN5 Golden Medium is the right shade for me?
Golden Medium MN5 is developed for a medium skin tone with a neutral undertone — so not distinctly pink (cool) or yellow (warm). Check the veins on the inside of your wrist: if they look mixed blue-green, you probably have a neutral undertone. When in doubt, we recommend gently testing a shade on the jawline; the right color will almost completely disappear into the skin.
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
Yes, very well. The mineral formula contains silica and zinc stearate that absorb excess oil and reduce shine, while the powder base keeps the skin breathable. Many customers with oily skin use this foundation as their only base product or as a setting powder over liquid foundation.
Does this product contain retinol — can I wear it during the day?
Yes, the retinol in the Ceretin Complex is encapsulated, meaning the active ingredient is released gradually and does not cause photosensitivity like pure retinol creams. Additionally, the SPF 15 provides protection. Always combine with a separate SPF 30 or 50 for prolonged sun exposure.
Does SPF 15 provide enough protection for daily use?
SPF 15 is suitable as basic protection for normal office or indoor use. For longer sun exposure, in spring and summer, or on vacation, we recommend applying a separate sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher as the last skincare step, and then using this foundation on top for extra coverage and touch-ups.
What is the difference compared to a regular pressed foundation?
The 4-in-1 formula combines four products in one: foundation for coverage, concealer for correcting imperfections, finishing powder to set makeup, and SPF for sun protection. It also contains nourishing ingredients like retinol, ceramides, and shea butter — something classic pressed foundations rarely offer.
How long does one compact last?
With daily use, a compact lasts on average four to six months. The 8-gram powder is highly concentrated, so you need only a small amount per application. Keep the compact closed in a cool, dry place for optimal shelf life.
Is this foundation safe during pregnancy?
The encapsulated retinol in this formula is present in a low, cosmetic dosage and is only minimally absorbed by the skin. As a precaution, we recommend consulting your midwife or dermatologist before using products with retinol during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
