ATTAPULGITE
Safety grade: A
Attapulgite is a naturally occurring clay mineral that acts like a tiny sponge, absorbing oils and moisture from skin and products. It's commonly used in powders and foundations to help them feel smooth and look matte.
This ingredient absorbs excess oil and moisture, adds texture and opacity to cosmetics, controls thickness, and provides a gentle abrasive action for exfoliation and product spreadability.
