Alumina, also known as aluminum oxide, is an inorganic compound consisting of oxygen and aluminum.

It is used in cosmetic and personal care products.

Aluminum is the most abundant metal on the earth's crust, where it is always found combined with other elements. In cosmetics it can be used as an opacifying, absorbent, viscosifying and coloring agent.

In addition to these specific functions, Aluminum Oxide is generally present in cosmetic formulations as it is used as a surface treatment to increase the hydrophilicity of pigments or as a coating for sunscreens, in order to reduce harmful photocatalytic reactions induced by light and to reduce the electrostatic interactions that cause the aggregation of microparticles.

It is found in the make-up products in which it is inserted to give a mattifying effect. Given its ability to reflect light, it can be used to obtain a soft-focus effect, which reduces the visibility of wrinkles.
