Description
Mineral powder foundation SPF 20 for dark cool skin
Teakwood takes its name from the noble tropical hardwood — a deep brown color with a restrained, cool undertone instead of a pronounced warm reddish hue. For dark skin with cool undertones, this is a hard-to-find combination. In the dark segment, the vast majority of foundations lean warm-reddish, while a truly cool-dark shade is rare. For those who identify with this cool depth, this is a repeated disappointment when searching for the right foundation.
Jane Iredale Teakwood is developed precisely for this profile. The mineral powder foundation provides light to full coverage, functions simultaneously as a concealer and physical SPF 20 protection, and offers a semi-matte finish that lets the skin breathe. The pigments are tuned to maintain the natural cool depth of the skin without unintentionally warming up throughout the day.
Color: Teakwood is a dark shade with cool brown undertones, ideal for dark skin with a calm, non-warm natural appearance.
Benefits
- Maintains the cool depth of dark skin without warm or red discoloration
- Prevents the typical gray cast that other SPF foundations can give on dark skin
- Dual function as foundation and concealer prevents overlayering of makeup
- Physically protects against UVA and UVB without flashback in photos
- Vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free produced
Active ingredients
Titanium dioxide & zinc oxide: Two mineral UV filters finely tuned in this formula so they leave no white residue or gray cast on darker cool skin types. For Jane Iredale Teakwood, this means physical SPF 20 protection while preserving the natural skin tone.
Pomegranate extract: Antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative damage caused by UV and air pollution. Helps prevent the natural cool depth of the skin from fading or becoming dull over time due to cumulative damage.
Pine needle extract (Pinus Strobus): Actively works to even out skin tone and helps visually soften hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory pigment spots. An important benefit for darker skin types, which are genetically more prone to pigmentation after inflammation or sun exposure.
Plankton and algae extract: Marine minerals that nourish the skin barrier and have a calming effect. For dark skin that produces more sebum or reacts to seasonal changes, these ingredients provide valuable support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Teakwood and Honey Bronze?
Both shades have cool undertones, but Jane Iredale Teakwood is clearly darker than Honey Bronze. Those with a medium cool skin tone choose Honey Bronze; for the step towards dark cool skin, Teakwood is the right choice.
Does Teakwood give a gray cast on dark skin?
No. The pigments are specifically tailored for dark cool skin to prevent that gray veil—a common problem with SPF foundations that have too high titanium dioxide content. A hydration spray after application further enhances the natural result.
Is this foundation suitable for skin with melasma?
Yes. The combination of physical SPF 20 protection and the pigment-regulating pine bark extract makes Teakwood a good choice for sensitivity to pigmentation spots. For active melasma, we also recommend a separate SPF 30 or higher as a base under the foundation.
Can I also use Teakwood as a bronzer on lighter skin?
That is a commonly used tip from the Jane Iredale system. Those who usually wear a light-medium foundation can apply Teakwood locally with a loose powder brush on the temples, cheekbones, and jawline for a natural cool contour.
