About

An inert mineral abrasive used in facial scrubs and cleansers that is safe for cosmetic use with no regulatory restrictions.

Garnet Powder refers to the mineral almandine, an iron aluminium silicate (Fe3Al2(SiO4)3) used as an abrasive in facial scrubs, toothpastes, and exfoliating formulations. As an inorganic mineral, it is chemically inert and not absorbed through the skin. It is not listed in EU Cosmetics Regulation Annexes II or III. The primary safety consideration is particle size; the ingredient must be below the regulated maximum particle size for wash-off products.
