Diamond Powder
What Diamond Powder is & what it does
Diamond Powder is a finely milled form of diamond, a crystalline form of carbon. In cosmetics it is used mainly as an abrasive in scrubs and polishes and occasionally for a subtle optical shimmer in luxury formulations. Because it is chemically inert, its role is physical rather than reactive on the skin.
What does Diamond Powder do in skincare?
It is used mainly as a physical abrasive in scrubs and polishes, and occasionally for a subtle optical shimmer in luxury products. Because diamond is chemically inert, its role is mechanical rather than reactive on the skin.
Is Diamond Powder safe?
As a finely milled, chemically inert form of carbon, Diamond Powder is generally considered safe for topical use. As with any physical exfoliant, gentle application matters, since coarse scrubbing can be harsh on sensitive skin.
Is Diamond Powder natural or synthetic?
Diamond Powder can be made from either mined natural diamond or lab-grown synthetic diamond; both are the same crystalline form of carbon. The label may not always specify which source was used.
