Magnesium Myristate

Magnesium Myristate is ideal for creating moist softness to any cosmetic formulation. This filler powder improves adhesion and offers great hydrophobicity in cosmetics. Magnesium Myristate has the ability to bind other powder ingredients together, especially if you're wanting to press them, and improving the coverage and wear time of your finished product. This powder is exceptional for all cosmetics, especially camouflage or concealers.

Benefits

• Used to improve adhesion and slip in pressed powdered mineral makeup.
• Used as a non-gelling thickening agent in many cosmetic products including eyeliners and mascara, lipsticks and liquid foundation.
• Used in foundation powders, pressed powders, eyeshadow blends and blushes as a white colouring agent (opacifier).
• Hydrophobic properties add to its microbial properties.
• Also used in fragrances, deodorants, creams, lotions, pomades, ointments, cream shampoos..

Our powder is vegetable based, not beef based. This is similar to our Magnesium Stearate powder that you can also purchase and add to your formulas.
