Magnesium carbonate itself possesses excellent properties such as stability and hygroscopicity (moisture absorption). In skincare and cosmetic products, it is often used as an adsorbent, bulking agent, colorant, and binder. It has a high safety factor and, generally speaking, can be used normally by pregnant women and is non-comedogenic (does not cause acne).
Firstly, adding an appropriate amount of magnesium carbonate helps absorb oil on the skin, maintaining the longevity of makeup. People familiar with cosmetics know that the oils in them often lead to clogged pores or shiny skin. Magnesium carbonate has excellent oil-absorbing capabilities, which allows it to absorb excess sebum on the skin, helping the skin remain fresh and clean. This makes magnesium carbonate an ideal choice in the field of pore-minimizing or oil-control cosmetics.
Secondly, magnesium carbonate also has good hygroscopic properties. We know that excessive evaporation of skin moisture, often caused by high humidity, leads to dry and dehydrated skin. Magnesium carbonate’s moisture-retaining function helps the skin lock in water, thereby keeping the skin supple and hydrated.
Furthermore, magnesium carbonate has excellent anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on the skin. When the skin is irritated, discomfort or even inflammatory reactions may occur. At this point, the anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of magnesium carbonate come into play, effectively reducing skin discomfort and offering good repairing effects. Therefore, the addition of magnesium carbonate to cosmetics also makes them suitable for use by people prone to allergies or those with sensitive skin.
Finally, magnesium carbonate also has the effect of regulating skin pigmentation. Excessive pigmentation can cause spots or dull, yellowing skin, which affects aesthetic appearance. Magnesium carbonate helps regulate the microenvironment on the skin’s surface, thereby reducing the production and deposition of melanin, helping to brighten the complexion. Therefore, magnesium carbonate is also suitable for use in skin repair or whitening/brightening cosmetic products.
In conclusion, magnesium carbonate is one of the ideal choices for cosmetic raw materials. Simultaneously, it possesses many other excellent properties yet to be explored. Messi Biology, as a manufacturer of magnesium carbonate with extensive R&D and production experience, will continue to strive in the future to develop more characteristics of magnesium carbonate, enabling it to demonstrate its value in a wider range of fields!
