Platinum Powder
What Platinum Powder is & what it does
Platinum Powder is finely milled metallic platinum used as a cosmetic ingredient. In skincare formulas it is included mostly as a marketing-oriented additive and may act as a colorant or to convey a premium positioning, rather than for a well-established skin function. It is an inert metal used in very small amounts.
What does Platinum Powder do in skincare?
Platinum Powder is finely milled metallic platinum, included mostly as a marketing-oriented additive. It may act as a colorant or convey a premium positioning rather than serving a well-established skin function. It is an inert metal used in very small amounts.
Is Platinum Powder safe?
Platinum Powder is generally considered safe as an inert metal used in small amounts in cosmetics. Platinum is chemically stable and not readily absorbed by the skin. As with any ingredient, sensitive individuals could react, so patch testing is reasonable if you have reactive skin.
Is Platinum Powder natural or synthetic?
Platinum is a naturally occurring metal, and Platinum Powder is made by milling that metal into a fine form for cosmetic use. It is therefore mineral in origin rather than plant or animal based. Because it is not animal-derived, it is generally compatible with vegan formulations.
