Rhodochrosite
What Rhodochrosite is & what it does
Rhodochrosite is a naturally occurring manganese carbonate mineral, pink in color, used in finely milled form in cosmetics. It is commonly used as a mineral additive and skin-conditioning ingredient, and is sometimes included for its trace manganese content or for marketing tied to gemstone-derived minerals. In practice it functions much like other powdered mineral extracts at low levels. It is generally considered inert and well tolerated on the skin.
