TALC

Talc, a soft mineral composed primarily of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen, has been a staple in cosmetic formulations for over a century due to its silky texture, opacity, and moisture-absorbing properties. It’s widely used in products like foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and baby powder. In cosmetics, talc provides a smooth application, helps prevent caking, and enhances the feel and finish of products.

The use of talc in cosmetics can be traced back thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians are known to have used talc-based powders as part of their skincare and cosmetic regimens. In modern times, talc’s popularity grew as its ability to improve product texture and performance in makeup became recognized.

Effact of Coatings

Enhanced Moisture Resistance: Oil coating prevents talc from absorbing moisture, which increases the stability and shelf-life of cosmetic products in humid environments.
Improved Skin Compatibility: The oil layer creates a gentler, smoother texture on the skin, making talc more suitable for sensitive skin types.
Better Spreadability: The coating allows talc to blend more easily with other ingredients, creating a smoother and more even application on the skin.
Improved Adherence: Oil-coated particles adhere better to the skin, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups and improving the product’s longevity.
