According to Messi Biology Co., Ltd., maintaining lasting skin beauty in the field of cosmetic science is a delicate balancing act. Particularly for oily skin, excessive sebum secretion can lead to makeup slippage, a dull complexion, and troublesome shine. In addressing this challenge, magnesium carbonate, a classic and highly efficient multi-functional ingredient, plays an indispensable role in modern oil-control and setting products. It acts like an invisible “breathable veil” for the skin, skillfully adsorbing oil while maintaining a comfortable and natural skin feel.

The principle behind magnesium carbonate’s application in cosmetics is rooted in its unique physicochemical properties. Its molecular structure exhibits porosity and possesses an enormous specific surface area, endowing it with excellent adsorptive capabilities. When applied to the skin surface, magnesium carbonate microparticles can rapidly capture excess sebum and sweat secreted by the sebaceous glands. Through physical adsorption, it transforms liquid oils into solid or semi-solid forms, thereby instantly eliminating shine and achieving a matte finish. This adsorptive action not only occurs on the surface but can also form a micro-regulatory oil barrier at the pore openings, delaying further oil exudation and providing long-lasting oil control.
Beyond its core adsorptive function, magnesium carbonate also serves multiple auxiliary roles in cosmetic formulations. As a glidant, it improves the flowability of powdered products, making the powder finer, smoother, easy to dispense from compacts, and uniformly spread on the skin. As a diluent, it helps adjust the product’s color and concentration, ensuring batch-to-batch color consistency. Furthermore, magnesium carbonate possesses anti-caking properties, maintaining the loose texture of powdered products during long-term storage and preventing hardening.
Despite magnesium carbonate’s significant efficacy, the requirements for cosmetic-grade raw materials are extremely stringent. First and foremost is the demand for purity; any heavy metal impurities (such as lead, arsenic, mercury) or microbial contamination are absolutely unacceptable, as these impurities can cause skin irritation, allergies, or more serious health problems. Secondly, precise control over particle size is crucial. Particles that are too large will not only affect skin feel, creating a rough, gritty sensation, but also potentially lead to skin dryness or makeup caking due to excessive oil absorption. Conversely, excessively fine particles may clog pores. Ideal cosmetic-grade magnesium carbonate needs to have an appropriate particle size distribution that ensures both efficient adsorption and a silky smooth skin feel.
Messi Biology Co., Ltd. deeply understands the cosmetic industry’s unwavering pursuit of safety and quality. Its pharmaceutical and food-grade magnesium carbonate perfectly fulfills these stringent requirements. The company’s products stand out with the following advantages, making them a preferred choice for numerous high-end cosmetic brands:
