Talc
A finely milled mineral powder that soaks up oil, adds silky slip and smooths the look of texture.
What it does
It soaks up surface oil, adds a soft, silky slip, blurs the look of uneven texture and bulks out powders. It’s a finely milled mineral, magnesium silicate. It’s there for texture and feel, not to change your skin.
The EU’s ingredient database lists it as a slip agent (makes other ingredients flow more easily), an opacifier (makes the product less see-through) and an absorbent (soaks up water or oil).European Commission, CosIng (© European Union, CC BY 4.0) · uses put in plain words by Drop ↗
