In addition, magnesium carbonate is a component of many pharmaceutical products, where it serves, for example, as an antacid, i.e. a stomach acid neutraliser. In cosmetics, this mineral is used as an absorbent or filler in powder products. Its ability to absorb moisture and grease makes it an ideal ingredient for powders and other decorative cosmetics. In industry, magnesium carbonate is used in the manufacture of glass, ceramics, soap and paper. In the construction industry it is known as a raw material for the production of magnesia cement and magnesia building boards.
