Description
Foundation with SPF 30 for dark skin with a warm golden undertone
Dark skin with a warm golden undertone has an inner light quality that is rarely well captured by foundations. The skin reflects light in a bronze glow that deepens in the sun, and you don’t want to mask that natural luminosity with pigments that can’t match the golden warmth. Foundations that are too cool make this skin look gray, while too orange variants give an unnatural reddish-brown tint that doesn’t suit the natural warmth.
Skintuition in shade 64 Dark is formulated with a rich warm golden pigment profile tailored to dark skin. The liquid texture melts into the skin and enhances the natural golden glow instead of imposing its own warm tone. Combined with mineral SPF 30, this foundation provides not only color match but also structural protection against melasma and uneven pigmentation — two common concerns on richly pigmented skin.
Color: dark shade with a warm golden undertone, a rich gold pigment for bronze dark skin that appears gray or dull in cool shades.
Benefits
- Rich warm golden pigment enhances the bronze luminosity of dark skin
- SPF 30 zinc oxide prevents melasma and uneven pigmentation
- Hyaluronic acid and Superfood Complex maintain the golden glow throughout the day
- Medium buildable coverage with a radiance finish without a mask effect
- Vegan, gluten-free, and suitable for mature dark skin
Active ingredients
Zinc Oxide 15.6%: A mineral UV filter that is especially valuable on richly pigmented dark skin. Dark skin has natural melanin protection against sunburn but is more sensitive to hyperpigmentation and melasma — areas where sun protection makes the difference between even and uneven pigmentation.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Attracts moisture and keeps the skin plump. On a deep golden dark skin, radiance only truly shines when the skin is sufficiently hydrated — dry dark skin tones quickly appear ashy gray and lose their bronze depth.
Iron Oxides (deep golden pigments): The mineral pigments are tuned to the warm golden frequency of dark skin. They provide a vibrant match that respects the bronze warmth without orange or reddish-brown accents.
Apple Fruit Extract & Xylitol (Superfood Complex): Nourish the skin from within and strengthen the microbiome. For dark skin with natural radiance, this combination refines the healthy glow characteristic of warm golden undertones.
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene: A film former that keeps pigments transfer-resistant and prevents the foundation from rubbing off on clothing or phone—a common issue with deeper tinted foundations with higher pigment load.
How to use
- Cleanse the skin and apply a hydrating toner or essence
- Apply a moisturizer and let it absorb well

- For those who previously couldn’t find a suitable gold pigment at a deep level
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the mineral SPF in 64 Dark cause a gray cast on dark skin?
No. The zinc oxide is finely dispersed and mixed with deep golden iron oxides that visually neutralize the mineral filter. The warm golden pigments in 64 Dark specifically prevent any gray or purple undertone from showing—a common complaint with mineral SPF on dark skin.
What is the difference between 58 Medium Dark (warm gold) and 64 Dark (warm gold)?
Both follow the same warm golden line, but 64 Dark clearly falls in the dark spectrum with more pigment depth. 58 is for those between medium dark and dark, 64 for those consistently in the darker bronze spectrum.
Does 64 Dark suit African skin?
Often yes. Many West African and Caribbean skin tones have a warm golden base with deep pigmentation that matches excellently with 64 Dark. For more red-mahogany undertones, a deeper shade may fit better, but for golden dark skin, this is a strong match.
