Magnesium helps revitalize and strengthen the skin, potassium plays a role in hydration, silicon can strengthen skin structure, fluorine is sometimes used for its effects on teeth, while hydroxides and oxides can serve as pH adjusters or colorants.

Type of ingredient : Varies according to the specific compound (e.g. silicon would be a mineral; oxides often colorants).

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally considered safe when used appropriately and at recommended concentrations in cosmetic formulations.

✨ Vegan: These compounds are mostly of mineral origin and therefore suitable for vegan formulations.

✨ Worth knowing: Oxides, in particular, are often used in mineral sunscreens for their ability to block UV rays. It's essential to check the concentration and specificity of the compound used, as some hydroxides can be irritating at high levels.
