Raw powders serve as the foundational ingredients for cosmetic bases.
These raw powders constitute the base matrix for cosmetics such as face powders, talcum powders, and blushes, primarily fulfilling functions related to coverage, smoothness, and absorption. For instance, talc is a primary raw material in the manufacture of face powders, pressed powders, blushes, and talcum powders; kaolin is an ingredient used in face powders, capable of absorbing, moderating, and eliminating the sheen typically associated with talc; titanium dioxide possesses exceptional covering power and is utilized in powdered cosmetics as well as sunscreens; zinc oxide offers significant covering power while also exhibiting astringent and antiseptic properties; and mica powder is incorporated into powdered products to impart a natural feel to the skin, finding its primary application in pressed powders and lipsticks.
