What Is Aluminum Silicate?
Salt that has absorbent and abrasive properties.
Aerated silica, also known as airlicium, is a synthetically-derived ingredient highly effective at absorbing oil, sebum, and sweat. It can absorb up to 15 times its own weight in oil, making it excellent for mattifying the complexion, reducing the appearance of blemishes, and creating an even skin texture.
