CC creams offer more coverage than BB creams but also less than foundations. They have more color-correcting properties than the lightly tinted BB creams but are not as opaque as true foundations.
They are often found in a variety of shades to fit your exact skin tone and also sometimes contain SPF for sun protection. Natural CC creams are chemical-free, non-toxic, and cruelty-free. That’s all good for your skin, for the environment, and for the animals.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite natural CC creams for mature skin.
