Magnesium Stearate

Description

Magnesium Stearate is a salt of magnesium and stearic acid, which is used in cosmetics as a thickener, anti-caking agent, lubricant, and texture stabilizer. It is most commonly used in powders, eyeshadows, blushes, and pressed makeup, as it provides a silky texture, improves adhesion to the skin, and prevents clumping. It also reduces the feeling of greasiness and helps to evenly distribute pigments.
