Upsalite®
Introductory Call
Let's start the conversation with a video call!
Upsalite® is truly a versatile material characterized by its unique porous structure, which features a narrow pore size distribution and a high surface area. This structure facilitates the efficient simultaneous absorption of both lipophilic and hydrophilic substances, such as sebum and sweat. Upsalite® exhibits superior absorption capacity, surpassing that of commonly used materials. Additionally, the particle morphology of Upsalite® improves adhesion to skin and contributes to light scattering which result in a pronounced blurring effect.
Upsalite® is truly a multifunctional ingredient. It's unique porous structure, with a narrow pore size distribution and high surface area, enables superior simultaneous absorption of lipophilic and hydrophilic substances (sebum and sweat). Upsalite® has a superior absorption capacity enabling the material to absorb more than other commonly used ingredients, in addition to its unique absorption mechanism, Upsalite® scatters light creating a strong blurring effect with increased adhesion to the skin.
Upsalite® is acknowledged as a groundbreaking material, attributed to its distinctive properties and the innovative methodology employed in its synthesis. Originating from pharmaceutical research at Uppsala University in Sweden, Upsalite® represents the first and only porous magnesium carbonate, a material previously deemed impossible to make.
Upsalite® helps you to communicate the difference in your formula and product.
Upsalite®enhances product performance through its unique properties, including its high surface area and porosity. It functions like a sponge, absorbing excess sebum and sweat, and provide prolonged absorption and sustained blurring effect.
At Disruptive Materials, we are dedicated to creating sustainable products.Our vision and strategy for maintaining a sustainable environment are built on three key pillars: promoting sustainable actions, reducing carbon emissions, and driving sustainable innovation.
Moreover, Upsalite® is produced from naturally originated ingredients and boasts an ISO 16128 natural origin index of 0.99–1.00, reflecting our dedication to creating eco-friendly products.

The Secret is in the Pores:
Upsalite® is truly a multifunctional ingredient with a narrow pore size distribution, and a high surface area which enables superior simultaneous absorption of lipophilic and hydrophilic substances such as sebum and sweat. The porous structure gives Upsalite® the ability to absorb more than other commonly used ingredients in addition to scattering light and increasing adhesion to skin.
Upsalite® is not considered a nanomaterial according to EU and US regulations. It has a particle size distribution where less than 50% of the particles are sized below 100 nm, determined by a Tier 2 analytical method. Additionally, it is neither insoluble nor bio persistent, which aligns with the EU definition of a nanomaterial.
Upsalite® is compatible with anhydrous or water-free formulations. It works well with both dry and liquid anhydrous binders and is compatible with high pigment levels, providing a smooth, natural finish with shine control and sheer coverage. However, it is not recommended for use in water formulations as its structure attracts water, which can lead to crystallization and degradation of the porous structure over time.

Upsalite® has a Natural Origin Index of 0.99 and as such, are to be considered under the definition as a Derived Mineral according to the definition in ISO 16128-2 2017 (Criteria for ingredients and products). Upsalite can be made with a Natural Origin Index of 1.00 by request.
Upsalite® (C101) is a raw material verified by ECOCERT GREEN LIFE, compliant with the COSMOS Standard and without animal origin (F363(COS)v09, Issued 02/11/2021).
