Magnesium stearate
GMO free
Magnesium stearate is a fine white powder commonly used in colour cosmetics and powdered formulations. It functions as a binding, texturising, and anti-caking agent, and is especially valued for its ability to enhance the feel and performance of makeup products.
Key Benefits:
-
Binding agent: Helps ingredients adhere together in pressed products such as foundations, blushes, and eyeshadows, improving compact integrity and reducing crumbling.
-
Slip and texture: Contributes a soft, silky feel to powders, giving finished products a smooth, blendable texture that glides easily on the skin.
-
Improves wear: Enhances adhesion to the skin, which can help colour cosmetics last longer throughout the day.
-
Oil absorption: Assists in absorbing excess oil, making it ideal for mattifying formulations and products designed for oily or combination skin.
-
Anti-caking: Prevents clumping in powder formulas, helping to maintain an even, free-flowing texture.
Common Uses:
Loose and pressed powders, eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, setting powders, foundations, and some cream-to-powder formulations.
This magnesium stearate is GMO-free and suitable for use in a wide range of DIY and professional cosmetic applications.
