Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate

The details

Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate is made up of calcium, aluminum, and silicates. It is a glass-like material. In cosmetics, it comes in the form of flakes or microspheres. Calcium aluminum borosilicate is a bulking agent, meaning it helps thicken a product. This ingredient is created by slowly mixing several minerals, including kaolin clay. Although “aluminum” in an ingredient name can raise red flags for some consumers, the form and usage context matter significantly. For typical topical applications, there is no substantial evidence of health risks - such as cancer, neurotoxicity, or systemic “aluminum overload.”
