EDIT 14/08/17: This silicone-free foundation list has been updated!! Check out the most current version here.
It’s taken me longer than I would have liked, but at long last: here is a new, updated version of theNotice’s creme-based silicone-free foundation list. It includes every creme silicone-free foundation I could find (both solids and balms), but if you know of one I’ve missed, please leave me a comment — I’m sure I’ve missed many from international and indie brands! (Note: due to the volume of what’s available and the nature of shopping online, please only suggest indie brands/Etsy sellers if you can personally vouch for the brand/product!)
At the moment, I’m also working on updating my list of ‘cone-free liquid and powder foundations, and will tackle moisturizers once that’s done. (These lists take a lot of time to compile, so my apologies that they’re not updated more frequently. You may only see 20 products on a list, but I’ve likely gone through the ingredients of 5x that number to find the ‘cone-free ones!)
If you have any suggestions or requests for future lists, again, please let me know! (For instance: do you like this format? Is there another product category that you’d really like to see a list for?)

Plus: here’s a list of theatre foundations that meet the bill. I’m a huge advocate for theatre makeup if you can sample it before buying (the shade selection is typically enormous, with plenty of colour adjusters), and many of their creme products are formulated without silicones. The price is always great, too — you use so little with all of these, and they’re usually less than $15 each!
To note, I haven’t shopped at any of these sites, but have heard great things about Beautylish, Camera Ready Cosmetics (CRC), and Alcone.
