About
Magnesium acetate — a soluble mineral salt used for skin conditioning and pH buffering. Considered safe at the low cosmetic levels in use; the only caveat is a thinner published dataset than for sister magnesium salts.

- Provides magnesium as a skin-conditioning mineral
- Acts as a mild buffer / pH adjuster
- Soluble salt — easy to formulate
- Used at low percentages with no irritation signal
Known concerns
- Sparse cosmetic-specific safety dossier vs canonical magnesium salts
- Acetate ion can sting on broken skin in high concentration
- No EU restriction but limited published clinical work
