Description
Talc is a mineral component that is a hydrated magnesium silicate, which has unique physical properties. Why add it to cosmetics: 1. Absorbent: effectively absorbs moisture and oil, making it indispensable in products for oily skin, powders and other products that control shine. 2. Reducing friction. This is useful for baby powders, deodorants and body creams that prevent irritation and redness. 3. Improving product texture: provides a pleasant feeling when applied and facilitates the distribution of products on the skin. 4. Thickener: promotes formula stability and prevents separation. 5. Cosmetic filler: used in decorative cosmetics such as blush, powder and eyeshadow. It improves the coverage properties of products, helping them to be evenly applied and last longer on the skin. 6. Mattifying effect. 7. UV filter: has the ability to partially protect the skin from ultraviolet rays, making it an additional component in sunscreens.
