Unique Properties
Upsalite®, a mesoporous magnesium carbonate, is a novel, patented ingredient that arose from pharmaceutical research at Uppsala University.
- Dual absorption: Upsalite can absorb both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances simultaneously
- Encapsulation: Upsalite encapsulates excess oil and moisture, leaving its outer structure dry. This can extend the wear time of your makeup products and decrease caking and creasing caused by excess sebum
- Superior absorption capacity: The porous structure of Upsalite gives the material an enormous amount of surface area, which in turn allows it to absorb more oil and excess moisture compared to other commonly used ingredients
- No flashback: The material has no measurable flashback effect
- Semitranslucent: The material is semitranslucent on the skin
