Where this list comes from
Skin type is taken from the details each retailer publishes for a product. Where a retailer gives none, it is read from the product's name and description. Preferences come from the claims each retailer lists (vegan, cruelty-free, oil-free, non-comedogenic, clean), the SPF in the product name, and the published ingredient list, which decides fragrance, drying alcohol, silicones and parabens. 25 foundations have no skin type listed and are left out of this list. 13 foundations have no ingredient list and no fragrance-free claim and are left out of this list. 13 foundations have no ingredient list and no paraben-free claim and are left out of this list.
The default order is by number of reviews across the retailers that sell each product. e.l.f. Cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation has the most, with 40,486.
