Description

Boron nitride is a naturally occurring mineral made of boron and nitrogen. It has been treated with sericite, a form or mica, to provide the mineral better spreadability, slip and coverage. Mica is a hydrous aluminum potassium silicate mineral that occurs naturally and is widely used to add sparkle and shimmer to cosmetic products. It is also sometimes used in skincare products to add a highlighting effect.
