Bismuth Oxychloride as described in the Wikipedia Encyclopaedia :
Bismuth (pronounced /?b?zm??/, BIZ-m?th) is a chemical element that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. This trivalent poor metal chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. Bismuth is heavy and brittle; it has a silvery white color with a pink tinge owing to the surface oxide. Bismuth is the most naturally diamagnetic of all metals, and only mercury has a lower thermal conductivity. It is generally considered to be the last naturally occurring stable, non-radioactive element on the periodic table, although it is actually slightly radioactive, with an extremely long half-life.
Bismuth compounds are used in cosmetics, medicines, and in medical procedures. As the toxicity of lead has become more apparent in recent years, alloy uses for bismuth metal as a replacement for lead have become an increasing part of bismuth’s commercial importance.
How interesting?… bismuth oxychloride often causes itching, rashes and mild to severe cystic acne. This is extremely unfortunate since many women are attracted to mineral cosmetics due to their reputation for being good for sensitive skin.
If you choose a mineral cosmetic that includes bismuth oxychloride it may cause additional irritation. If you have had a reaction to mineral cosmetics in the past it is likely because of the bismuth oxychloride in the product.
It is considered a Nano particle which is considered like Talc, to get into the bloodstream and cause major problems in the system…………………………Remember what Asbestos does? it is linked to be very, very much the same thing
Given the choice would you really use something you thought could have a detrimental affect on your body? I am interested as many,many Make-up companies use this to fill out there products and also is a cheap additive. We need to be asking more questions
