Description
Why add to cosmetics: 1. Antacid agent: helps neutralize acidic components and provides a comfortable feeling on the skin. This is important for products that can cause irritation. 2. Protective barrier: in sunscreens, this component is used to create a protective barrier on the skin, which helps reflect ultraviolet radiation, thereby protecting the skin from harmful sun rays. 3. Thickener and stabilizer: helps keep ingredients evenly distributed throughout the product. 4. Moisturizing: helps retain moisture in the skin, preventing it from drying out and maintaining hydration. 5. Anti-inflammatory properties. 6. Adsorbing properties: can absorb excess oil and sebum, making it an effective ingredient in products for oily skin and acne treatments. 7. Whitening effect: often used in decorative cosmetics, especially in powders and foundations, to create a matte effect and improve the appearance of the skin.
