Question:

“I noticed there is a source of aluminum in AGEOFF Instant.  Is this in anyway harmful?”

Firstly, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is actually a naturally occurring mineral derived from purified clay.  It’s primary use is a thickener in cosmeceuticals such as AgeOFF® Instant. Regarding safety, It is also critical to note that due to the larger molecule size of the Magnesium Aluminum Silicate compound, it is physically unable to absorb into the skin and has no ability to get into the blood stream.  Because of this there should be no concern as aluminum can only be harmful if it gets into the body through ingestion such as drinking from packaged materials made from aluminum such a soda cans or canned foods.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate” has a rating of 1 on the website SkinDeep.com which represents “Low Hazard” and is the best safety rating available on a reputable website.
