Calcium Carbonate (Chalk) (Cosmetic Grade)

This Calcium Carbonate (Chalk) is a cosmetic-grade mineral powder ideal for use in cosmetic and personal care products. With high purity, the fine, white powder contains a naturally occurring calcium carbonate that is safe and effective.

Cosmetic Making: Calcium Carbonate absorbs moisture. So, it is often added to face powders to increase the ability of the makeup to absorb moisture. In cosmetics, Calcium Carbonate makes a great absorber in foundations, primers, and finishing powders. Use in a percentage of about 2-5% of the formula to start.

Fabric Dyeing: Calcium Carbonate (also referred to as chalk) is a white powdery mineral that is a common addition to the madder dye bath to deepen shades. It is also one of the principal minerals that create hard water.

For best reds, when dyeing cotton, Calcium Carbonate can be added to the dye bath. This binds with the Madder and enriches the color. For wool or silk, add some ammonia (clear, non-sudzing) to your dye bath until the color of the solution is reddish rather than orange.

Gouache Making: Chalk Powder is used to make chalk paints/gouache.
