Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a naturally occurring mineral widely used in cosmetics as a multifunctional ingredient. Primarily sourced from limestone, marble, or chalk, it is processed into a fine, white powder that serves as a safe and effective filler, absorbent, and texturizer.
Key Benefits & Functions
- Oil & Moisture Absorption: It effectively absorbs excess sebum (skin oil) and perspiration, providing a mattifying effect.
