Magnesium Stearate
A soft mineral-soap powder used to bind pressed powders and add a smooth, adherent feel.
What it does
Magnesium stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic acid, a soft white powder. It binds pressed powders together, helps a powder adhere to skin, and adds a smooth, slippery feel. It is a binder-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
