Charlotte Bio Silky Mattifying Face Primer is a certified organic primer that preps the skin before makeup. Its light, melting texture smooths the look of skin texture, blurs small imperfections and mattifies shiny areas, creating an even base that helps foundation last through the day. Made in France with ingredients that are all of natural origin, it suits combination to oily skin and can be worn alone or under a foundation, a BB cream or a CC cream.

Key Benefits

  • Smoother-looking skin: refines the look of skin texture and blurs small imperfections.
  • Shine control: mattifies the T-zone and other shiny areas for a velvety finish.
  • Longer-lasting makeup: creates a base that helps foundation hold from morning to night.
  • Light, comfortable feel: a melting texture with no greasy film or heavy layer.
  • Certified organic: COSMOS Organic certified by Ecocert, not tested on animals.

Key Ingredients

Silica absorbs excess oil and gives the primer its matte, velvety finish while helping makeup glide on evenly. Candelilla wax softens the skin and forms a light protective film, and beeswax adds comfort and helps makeup stay in place. Sunflower and sesame seed oils and vitamin E complete the formula.

Apply Charlotte Bio Silky Mattifying Face Primer to clean skin, after your moisturizer and before your makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Charlotte Bio Silky Primer do?

It prepares the skin for makeup. Charlotte Bio designed this primer to smooth the look of skin texture, blur small imperfections and mattify shiny areas, so foundation goes on more evenly and lasts longer. It can be worn alone for a smooth, matte look or under a foundation, a BB cream or a CC cream.

Is Charlotte Bio Silky Primer suitable for oily skin?

Yes. Charlotte Bio formulated it especially for combination to oily skin: silica absorbs excess oil and keeps shine in check, particularly on the T-zone. Dry skin can use it from time to time on shiny areas only, over a rich moisturizer, as the brand suggests.

How do I apply Charlotte Bio Silky Primer?

Apply it to clean, moisturized skin before makeup. Use your fingertips to smooth a small amount over the forehead, nose and chin, or any area you want to mattify. Let it set for a few seconds, then continue with your usual foundation, BB cream or CC cream.

Is Charlotte Bio Silky Primer organic?

Yes. Charlotte Bio states that this primer is COSMOS Organic certified by Ecocert, with ingredients that are all of natural origin and part of them from organic farming. It is not tested on animals and is made in France. Note that the formula contains beeswax.

Can I wear Charlotte Bio Silky Primer without foundation?

Yes. Charlotte Bio says its primer works both ways: on its own, it smooths and mattifies the skin for a natural finish, and under a foundation, a BB cream or a CC cream, it helps the complexion look more even and helps makeup hold through the day.
