Calcium Carbonate 50 g

One mineral, many industries: from paper mills to pressed powder compacts

Calcium carbonate is a finely ground natural mineral, commonly recognized as chalk or ground limestone, and it plays a much bigger industrial role than most people realize. Manufacturers rely on it across paper production, plastics, rubber, paints and coatings, food processing, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. This small 50 g package is well suited for home experimentation, pilot formulations and small test batches before committing to a larger production run. Within our catalog the product belongs to the Mineral fillers section alongside comparable functional ingredients.

In heavy industry, calcium carbonate is added to paper pulp to increase brightness and sheet density, blended into plastic compounds as a reinforcing filler that reduces cost while improving opacity, and used in paints and plasters for better coverage. In the food sector it serves as a calcium fortifier and whitening agent, while pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a tablet excipient and as an acid-neutralizing agent in antacid formulations.

Within cosmetic formulation, calcium carbonate is most often found in loose and pressed powders, eyeshadows, blushes, dry shampoos and toothpaste, where it functions as a gentle abrasive and bulking filler that gives products the desired density and a soft matte finish. Another widely searched application is bath bombs, where the mineral reacts with citric acid to produce the classic fizzing effect that consumers associate with bath fizzies. When building pressed powder formulas, it pairs naturally with Lauroyl lysine for smoother application and with Nylon 12 to create a soft-focus, blurred finish on skin. In lash-care and mascara-style formulas, this mineral filler is sometimes combined with active ingredients such as Volume Cils to achieve a denser, buildable texture.

The mineral can be introduced at any stage of dry mixing since it does not dissolve in water and is unaffected by heat, making it equally suitable for cold and hot processing. In powders and blushes, typical usage ranges from 10 to 40 percent of total weight, while in bath bombs it is used at 30 to 50 percent alongside citric acid and baking soda. Store the raw material in a dry place in a tightly sealed container, since it readily absorbs moisture from humid air.
