"Saie founder Laney Crowell avoided setting sprays for the same reasons many people do: They can irritate the skin, and their tacky formulas often lead to breakouts. That's because, to do their job of setting makeup in place, most sprays rely on synthetic polymers. These are large molecules that give products durability and flexibility, and are used to create things like plastic. The result? A finish that's effective, but heavy, uncomfortable, and far from nourishing."
"After five years of development, Crowell and Saie finally perfected a setting mist that does the same job without the uncomfortable side effects. In place of synthetic polymers, CitySet uses hydrolyzed corn starch - a plant-based, biodegradable alternative that performs the same function, but with a more flexible, lightweight feel. It's also aerosol-free, another feature that sets it apart from other options on the shelves, making it a more environmentally considerate option than many setting sprays on the market."
Many people experience makeup fading within hours and often rely on primers, setting powders, or sprays to prolong wear. Traditional setting sprays typically use synthetic polymers to lock makeup in place, producing durable but heavy, tacky finishes that can irritate skin and cause breakouts. Saie introduced CitySet on Dec. 26 as a lightweight, skin-friendly alternative. After five years of development, CitySet replaces synthetic polymers with hydrolyzed corn starch, a plant-based, biodegradable ingredient that provides flexibility and hold with a lighter feel. The mist is aerosol-free, reducing environmental impact compared with many conventional setting sprays.
