Calcium carbonate is a carrier that can also be found in bath products and makeup. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use calcium carbonate because without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface. It can also be used as an abrasive, making a formula slightly gritty to help remove tough stains from surfaces. Calcium carbonate will not harm most surfaces, but before using any abrasive product on a particular surface, you should test it on an inconspicuous place.

Sodium bicarbonate is the salt that's commonly called baking soda, and has many uses from cooking to medicines. As a foaming agent, we use sodium bicarbonate to help a product create a foamy consistency.

Silica is a thickener that can also be found in a wide variety of cosmetics and personal care products. It is also called "silicon dioxide." In our products, we use silica to help a product maintain a gel-like texture. In certain products, it also works as anti-settling agent by preventing particles from precipitating out.
