Description

Perlite is a natural volcanic mineral that expands and acquires a light, porous structure after special thermal treatment. In cosmetics, it is mainly used as a gentle abrasive, mattifying agent, and thickener. This component is added to scrubs, masks, toothpastes, powders, foundations, and skin care products. Thanks to its texture, Perlite gently exfoliates dead cells, cleanses pores, reduces oily shine, and improves the overall appearance of the skin. It can also absorb excess sebum without drying out the skin. In addition, Perlite is used as a filler in decorative cosmetics - to create a silky, light texture and control shine throughout the day. This mineral is well tolerated by the skin and is considered safe.
