About

Magnesium carbonate — a mineral powder that mops up excess oil, mattifies and adds white opacity (CI 77713). Inert and very well tolerated; the only meaningful caveat is to avoid inhaling loose powder.

Skin benefits

  • Effective oil absorber and matting agent in powders
  • Acts as a bulking and opacifying white pigment (CI 77713)
  • Mild buffering action
  • Inert, hypoallergenic

Known concerns

  • Inhalation of loose powder is the only real concern
  • No significant concerns at cosmetic concentrations on intact skin
