Magnesium aluminum silicate is a clay of the smectite family. A family of clays with trilayered structures with colloidal characteristics and excellent purifying capacity, able to swell in water and to give interesting rheological properties to aqueous preparations. It is widely used in emulsions as a suspension and viscosifier. It has interesting properties and is particularly suitable for cosmetic use: it is in fact odorless and non-toxic. Magnesium aluminum silicate disperses well in water and is a good rheological modifier as it has the ability to stabilize emulsions and mixtures in suspension. This produces an increase in the final density of the product and in the quality of the emulsions themselves. The final product has a silky and smooth texture, easy to spread.
