Inclusive Clean Foundations

Exa's High Fidelity Foundation Contains Microalgae & Maqui Berry

Exa is introducing a brand-new buildable and clean foundation in an expansive 43 shade range—which is about double the number offered by the average clean beauty range. Exa is on a mission to "bring more color to clean beauty so everyone can play," and it gets its name from the largest unit of measure.

The beauty brand's debut High Fidelity Foundation boasts a blend of microalgae, maqui berry and hyaluronic acid that nourish the skin and leave it with a semi-satin finish. The ingredients of the clean foundation formula are said to be useful for shielding the skin from free radicals and pollution, all the while offering long-lasting pigments that won't oxidize. Exa's High Fidelity Foundation is offered in shades that range from deep dark and fair to medium deep, medium light and plenty of options in between.
