Product Description

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Product Description

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as an emulsion stabilizer, thickening agent, and viscosity controller. It is a type of clay that is composed of magnesium, aluminum, and silicate minerals, and it is often referred to as smectite clay.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate has a high absorption capacity, which makes it an effective ingredient for absorbing excess oil and sebum from the skin. It is also recognized for its ability to absorb impurities, which makes it useful in cleansing products and masks.

Key Advantages
  • • Excellent thickening and suspension capabilities
  • • Enhanced stability for emulsions and suspensions
  • • Improved texture and spreadability
  • • High purity, cosmetic-grade quality
  • • Natural alternative to synthetic thickeners
