About

On an ingredient list it is written as Boron Nitride. It is synthetic (inorganic compound).

In the Formula

It is a texture material. It governs how a powder presses, how it feels under a brush, and how light scatters across the surface once applied.

The Evidence

Its safety for cosmetic use has been assessed by the expert panel review Safety Assessment of Boron Nitride as Used in Cosmetics (Fiume MM, 2015, Int J Toxicol, PMID 26684796). We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

Boron Nitride does its job inside the formula. It is not an active, and nothing on this page should be read as a treatment claim.
