Description
Illite is a mineral from the group of clays, which is often used in cosmetics due to its absorbing, mattifying and detoxifying properties. It effectively absorbs excess sebum, making it popular in products for oily and problematic skin. Illite also cleanses pores, gently polishes the skin's surface, reduces irritation, and provides mineralization and toning effects in masks. It is added to masks, powders, cleansers, scrubs, and even toothpastes.
