About

On an ingredient list it is written as Magnesium Stearate. It is synthetic (magnesium salt of stearic acid).

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. Formally it is classed as slip / adhesion agent (magnesium fatty-acid soap).

The Evidence

It is a listed cosmetic ingredient with an established function in the EU CosIng inventory. We hold no finished product study on it and do not imply one. We cite what the ingredient is assessed for, not what a finished product was claimed to do.

Honest Limits

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