Science & Results
Your skin already knows its perfect shade. We just speak its language.
The Changing Liquid Foundation™ is the first formula engineered to read your skin's natural pH and respond — in real time — with a precise, personalised finish. No shade matching. No guesswork. Just chemistry doing exactly what it was built to do.
pH-Adaptive Technology: The science of belonging.
Your skin's acid mantle — its natural protective barrier — operates at a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. This isn't just chemistry. It's a fingerprint. No two people share the same skin pH, which is exactly why one foundation shade has never fit all. Until now.
Step 1 — You apply. Your skin responds.
The moment the formula makes contact with your skin, its pH-sensitive pigments — iron oxides (CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499) — are triggered by your skin's unique acid mantle. The reaction begins instantly at the molecular level.
Step 2 — Pigment shift meets precision.
pH-responsive iron oxide complexes expand or contract based on acidity, subtly modulating the light they absorb and reflect. Lighter skin pH (closer to neutral) pulls the formula toward cooler, rosier undertones. Deeper, more acidic skin draws out warmer, richer depth. The formula doesn't guess — it calculates.
Step 3 — Silicone film-formers lock in the result.
Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone create a breathable, weightless film over the skin. This locks in the pH-adapted colour while allowing the skin to breathe — so the finish stays true for hours, not minutes.
Step 4 — Active botanicals amplify the result.
Gentiana Scabra and Sophora Flavescens Root Extract calm inflammation and even skin tone from beneath the formula. Ophiopogon Japonicus Root restores hydration reserves. Sodium Hyaluronate binds moisture at the surface. Your foundation is also actively caring for your skin while you wear it.
Step 5 — SPF 15 protects the finish — and your future.
Titanium Dioxide and Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate deliver broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with zero added step. Because the best skincare is the one you actually do.
Every ingredient earns its place.
No filler. No fluff. Each component in the Changing Liquid Foundation™ serves a measurable function — either in the pH-adaptive mechanism, in skincare performance, or in long-wearing finish.
Sodium Hyaluronate — Hydration Hero
A low-molecular-weight derivative of hyaluronic acid that penetrates the skin barrier to bind water at a cellular level — delivering up to 1,000× its weight in moisture from beneath the formula. The result: skin that looks and feels plump, not powdered.
Titanium Dioxide — Sun Shield
A physical UV filter that scatters and reflects UVA/UVB rays rather than absorbing them chemically. Gentler than chemical alternatives, it also contributes to the formula's adaptive opacity — giving you coverage and protection in one.
Cyclopentasiloxane — Texture Architect
A volatile silicone that creates the silky, skin-like texture you feel on application. It evaporates after blending, leaving behind only the active pigment and skincare elements — no heaviness, no buildup.
Gentiana Scabra Extract — Botanical Intelligence
A potent botanical from East Asian traditional medicine. Rich in iridoid glycosides with proven anti-inflammatory and brightening properties — actively reducing redness and uneven tone while you wear the foundation.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Antioxidant Defense
A fat-soluble antioxidant that neutralises free radicals caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors — protecting both the skin and the integrity of the formula's pigment from oxidative degradation.
Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract — Barrier Repair
Used in clinical skincare for its steroidal saponins and homoisoflavonoids that strengthen the skin barrier, improve elasticity, and protect against moisture loss — turning every wear into a treatment.
Bisabolol + Trehalose — Sensitivity Shield
Bisabolol (derived from chamomile) is clinically recognised for soothing reactive skin on contact. Trehalose is a natural stress-protectant sugar that shields skin cells from environmental damage and dehydration. Together, they make the formula safe for even the most sensitive skin.
What happens to your skin over time.
Unlike most foundations that sit on top of your skin — and slowly damage it — the Changing Liquid Foundation™ is formulated to actively improve the skin it touches. Wear it daily. Watch your skin change, for the better.
Immediately: Flawless, skin-matched finish that blends in — not on. Weightless coverage that looks like your skin, perfected.
After 2 weeks: Visibly improved hydration levels driven by Sodium Hyaluronate and Ophiopogon Japonicus Root working daily beneath the formula.
After 4 weeks: Reduced redness and more even skin tone, driven by consistent exposure to Gentiana Scabra and Sophora Flavescens Root — two botanicals that work cumulatively.
Ongoing: Daily broad-spectrum UV defense prevents long-term hyperpigmentation and sun-induced uneven tone — protecting the progress your skin is already making.
Built for every skin. Personalised by yours.
The Changing Liquid Foundation™ doesn't just accept all skin types — it was engineered for them. The pH-adaptive mechanism works differently on each skin type, producing a result that is uniquely, undeniably yours.
Dry Skin: Sodium Hyaluronate and C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate restore suppleness and slip. The formula glides without settling into texture or emphasising fine lines.
Oily Skin: Dimethicone Crosspolymer and Quaternium-18 Bentonite absorb excess sebum and control shine throughout the day — without leaving skin looking flat or cakey.
Sensitive Skin: Bisabolol and Trehalose soothe reactivity at contact. No added fragrance. No harsh actives. Just calm, even coverage that your skin won't fight.
Combination Skin: The formula naturally balances itself across zones — lightweight where your skin tends to be dry, mattifying where it tends to shine. No blotting. No touch-ups.
We put everything on the label. Because we have nothing to hide.
The beauty industry has a habit of hiding behind proprietary complexes and vague marketing claims. Base & Beyond doesn't. Every ingredient in the Changing Liquid Foundation™ is listed, explained, and justified. If it's in the bottle, it belongs there.
Here is how the formula breaks down by function:
Skin-Conditioning Base (~45%): Aqua, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — the hydration and delivery foundation that ensures every active ingredient reaches where it needs to go.
pH-Adaptive Pigment Complex (~20%): CI 77891, CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499, Mica — the colour intelligence system that reads your skin and responds.
Film-Forming Silicone System (~18%): Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol — responsible for texture, blendability, and the long-wearing finish that holds the adapted colour in place.
Active Botanicals & Skincare (~12%): Gentiana Scabra, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Ophiopogon Root, Bisabolol, Trehalose — the skin-forward actives that treat while they cover.
UV Protection Filters (~5%): Titanium Dioxide + Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate — broad-spectrum SPF 15, built in from the start.
