Pyrophyllite has unique properties ideally suited for the cosmetics industry as a safe, asbestos-free alternative to talc. With a Mohs hardness of 1-2, the soft, smooth feel of pyrophyllite powder with its chemical inertness and bright white color make it ideal as a base in various face and body powders. In addition, the hydrophobic properties of pyrophyllite allows the powder to stick to skin and prevents the absorption of sweat. Trinity uses the highest purity, whitest, brightest pyrophyllite for cosmetics applications, with extremely low levels of impurities.
