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. 182 foundations have no cruelty-free claim and are left out of this list. 10 foundations have no mineral claim and are left out of this list.

The default order is by number of reviews across the retailers that sell each product. bareMinerals ORIGINAL Loose Talc-Free Mineral Powder Foundation SPF 15 has the most, with 34,695.
