Primarily used as an abrasive and thickening agent, but also functions as an anti-caking agent and absorbent. It can be found in cosmetic products like blush, powder foundation, lipstick and facial cleanser.

Because of its abrasive texture, many use these crystals to exfoliate and resurface the skin-particularly with Microdermabrasion.
