About No-Sebum Mineral Pact
Overview
No-Sebum Mineral Pact is a cushioning setting powder from innisfree, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around oil control. The ingredient list runs to 17 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
Texture and finish
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup.
What the formula does
Oil control: High. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Silica, Silica Dimethicone Silylate and Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate.
Hydration: Moderate. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Squalane and Methicone.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Squalane.
Who it suits
On richness alone it suits Dry, Combination (dry) and Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
What it does not target
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, brightening and tone, soothing and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
What is not in it
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
Where it fits in a routine
Use it in the morning. In a routine it goes taken with food. Follow the dose on the pack and check interactions with anything you already take.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

What to layer it with
Judged by the same curated rules our routine checker uses. It reads the ingredients, not the label.
Compatible with
- Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
- Retinoids (retinol, retinal)
- AHAs (glycolic, lactic)
- BHA (salicylic acid)

Nothing in this formula belongs to a group our rules can put in conflict, so it layers freely. Order still matters — thinnest texture first.
Where it fits in a routine
Morning
- Follow the dose on the pack and check interactions with anything you already take.
Safety and suitability
Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Nothing in this formula is on the standard pregnancy-caution list. That is not clearance — ask your doctor about anything you use daily.
- Fungal acne (malassezia)
- 4 ingredients could feed malassezia: Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Magnesium Myristate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Glyceryl Caprylate. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
- Sensitive and reactive skin
- No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
- Recorded ingredient risks
- Silicone
