Science
Mechanism of Action
Composed of essential minerals like silica and potassium, Synthetic Moonstone Powder is theorized to enhance skin radiance, luminosity, and hydration. Its proposed mechanism involves the activation of dermal metabolism, contributing to skin detoxification and purification, potentially facilitated by alkaline mineral ions and far-infrared ray penetration. Cosmetically, it functions by delivering a soft, velvety texture and a delicate, iridescent finish, integrating a holistic wellness element into personal care.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not conducted a specific assessment for Synthetic Moonstone Powder. However, closely related ingredients such as synthetically manufactured amorphous silica and hydrated silica have been deemed safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. Silicate ingredients in general are considered safe when formulated without irritation concerns, though potential inhalation risks have been noted for naturally-sourced silicates. Specific GHS classifications or toxicity data (Oral/Dermal/Inhalation) for moonstone powder are often listed as undetermined. An ingredient rating from Paula's Choice is currently pending review.
