Talc - Magnesium Silicate Hydrate
Cosmetic Grade
200 Mesh Talc White
Cosmetic grade talc is talc (the mineral magnesium silicate) that’s been processed and quality-controlled specifically for use in cosmetics—meaning it’s refined for things like whiteness, particle size, feel (“slip”), microbiological quality, and low levels of impurities, and asbestos-free.
Why Talc is used in cosmetics
Talc is popular because it feels silky, helps products apply smoothly, and manages moisture/oil. Common functions include:
-
Absorbent (helps reduce greasiness / shine)
-
Anti-caking (keeps powders free-flowing)
-
Bulking / filler (adds body, improves pressability in compacts)
-
Slip modifier / improves spreadability (smooth glide on skin)
-
Opacifier (adds opacity/coverage)
-
Skin protectant
Cosmetic products it is used in:
-
Face powders, setting powders, foundations, blush, eyeshadow
-
Deodorant and body powders, foot powders
- Sometimes in creams/lotions in small amounts for feel/finish
