Product Description

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a naturally derived smectite clay mineral, purified for use in cosmetics as a versatile thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent. Composed of magnesium, aluminum, and silicate, it excels in controlling viscosity and enhancing the texture of formulations like creams, lotions, and masks. Its high absorption capacity effectively removes excess oil and impurities, making it ideal for skincare products targeting oily or acne-prone skin. It stabilizes both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, improves spreadability, and provides a smooth, non-sticky feel. Safe up to 30% concentration, it is non-comedogenic and globally approved, though patch testing is recommended for sensitive skin to avoid potential irritation.
