Calcium Carbonate – Mild Abrasive, Mineral Opacifier
Calcium Carbonate is a natural mineral compound used in cosmetic and personal care products as a mechanical cleansing agent and opacifier. It ensures a controlled abrasive action, finding its place in oral care for formulating toothpastes. In makeup and skincare products, it functions as a moisture and sebum absorbent, providing a matte texture and increasing the opacity of formulas.
Ingredients (INCI): Calcium Carbonate.

- Appearance: Fine, white, odorless powder.
- Solubility: Practically insoluble in water and oils.
- Cosmetic function: Mild abrasive agent, opacifier, bulking agent, absorbent.
Properties
- Controlled Abrasiveness: Enables physical cleansing of surfaces (such as tooth enamel or dense stratum corneum) through gentle friction without causing scratches.
- Moisture and Sebum Absorbent: Binds fluid secretions from the skin surface, reducing shiny appearance and maintaining a dry finish.
- Opacifier, Pigment Extender: Increases coverage power in powder or cream makeup products, acting as a filler agent that facilitates homogeneous dispersion of color pigments.
- Bulking Agent: Texturizer, filler, ensures cohesion for powder-type formulas.
Applications
- Oral hygiene formulations: toothpastes and tooth powders.
- Mineral makeup products: powder foundation, loose mattifying powders, blushes, and eye shadows.
- Body care hygiene products: solid or powder deodorants, as an absorbent.

So far I have only used it in oral hygiene products for both children and adults. I'm satisfied
A blind but very effective abrasive. I have been using it for more than 3 years in toothpaste for my little girl!
Today I used it in formulating a toothpaste.I liked the texture that came out and would like to incorporate it into a future effervescent bath ball.
Very good in preparing toothpaste recipe. Would be more useful packaging at double the amount.
It is toothpaste ingredient but I substituted coconut oil for the water and it is much better.
I have used this powder to make toothpastes, I like that it is very fine...Now I want to use it in other products.
For dental care. Universal tool for the manufacture of various tooth powders and toothpastes. Super!!
I use this ingredient to make baby toothpaste. In the future I will try other recipes that include it.
I made a simple tooth cleaning powder and am very pleased. I'll make a larger batch, and eventually divide it into jars with various oils.
I use it to make toothpaste.The more diversified the recipes the more I will try them all
A great ingredient to use when you want to make at home toothpaste for clean and healthy teeth, both for kids and adults.
I have been buying it for a while, as a main ingredient in toothpaste. I recommend it to those who want to make their own toothpaste Great!
