THE STORY OF NANOMINERAL MGCO3
Nanomineral MGCO3: The Multi-Functional Mineral for Absorption, Stability & Texture
Nanomineral MGCO3 is a versatile mineral ingredient used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, sports-care, and personal-care formulations.
Known for its absorbent, anti-caking, bulking, and stabilizing properties, it enhances product texture, flow, and performance.
Used in powders, deodorants, dentifrices, tablets, sports grip products, and makeup formulations.
Purified Mineral Compound Produced from Natural Magnesium Salts
Nanomineral MGCO3 is produced by reacting magnesium salts (often magnesium chloride or sulfate) with alkali carbonates, followed by:
• Filtration
• Drying
• Milling / Micronization
• Purification
This results in a fine, white, odorless mineral powder with excellent absorbency and stability.
TRCkem provides cosmetic- and pharma-grade Nanomineal MGCO3 suitable for diverse applications.
Absorb. Stabilize. Improve Flow.
