Mineral Powders for Cosmetics & Pharmaceutical Industries

The cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries demand the highest purity mineral powders available. At Ridhi Sidhi Microns, we manufacture premium-grade talc and china clay (kaolin) powders that meet the stringent requirements of these sensitive application sectors. Talc powder is valued in cosmetics for its extreme softness (Mohs hardness 1), smooth silky feel, excellent skin adhesion, and natural translucency. In face powders and blush formulations, talc provides a luxurious skin feel. Our cosmetic-grade talc is processed to ensure high purity (≥ 97%), consistent whiteness, and ultra-fine particle size (500 mesh). In pharmaceutical applications, talc serves as an excipient (inactive ingredient) in tablet formulations, functioning as a glidant to improve powder flow and as an anti-adherent to prevent sticking to compression tooling. China clay (kaolin) is valued in cosmetics for its gentle oil-absorbing properties, making it a key ingredient in face masks and cleansers. Its mild nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin. Our pharmaceutical-grade minerals undergo additional processing and testing to meet pharmacopoeia standards for microbial limits, heavy metal content, and arsenic levels. We supply these minerals with full quality documentation including Certificates of Analysis (COA).
