A functional mineral carrier. Safe.
Calcium Sodium Borosilicate is a flake mineral glass used as a carrier for pigments and optical effects. Its INCI name is Calcium Sodium Borosilicate. In a formula it reflects light, gives a soft glow, and optically blurs the skin surface. This is a functional, decorative ingredient, not a skincare active. The effect is purely optical: it softens the look in the moment without acting on skin physiology. As a finishing agent it does its job. Used topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is high: low irritation and allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin. It is an inert material and most people see no reaction.
