Calcium Carbonate - 250G

Features

Description

Essentially Natural Calcium Carbonate is a fine white mineral powder used in cosmetic and personal care formulations to add texture, body, slip and a smoother finish. It is especially useful in face powders, body powders, make-up, creams, lotions, scrubs and rinse-off products where a soft mineral feel is wanted.

This carbonate mineral blend contains calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and silica, and should be dispersed into a suitable formula rather than dissolved. It is a raw formulation ingredient, not a finished cosmetic product. Why we love it: Calcium Carbonate is a practical mineral powder for makers who want to improve texture, opacity and overall product feel.

It is especially handy in powder cosmetics, scrub-style products and cream formulations where a fine, smooth, natural-style mineral ingredient is useful.
