Aluminum Hydroxide

Low risk

FunctionPigment Coating

What it is — Aluminum Hydroxide (INCI: Aluminum Hydroxide), an inorganic mineral compound used in cosmetics mainly as a pigment treatment.

What it does — It is commonly used to coat and surface-treat pigments (such as iron oxides and titanium dioxide) so they disperse evenly and give a smooth, uniform color.

Typical use — Found in foundations, tinted products, sunscreens and color cosmetics where treated pigments are used.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types; it functions within the formula rather than acting on the skin directly.

Safety — Rated low risk in this bound, non-active role. This is general information, not medical advice; finished products can be patch-tested if your skin is sensitive.
