Best Answer

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a naturally occurring mineral derived from refined and purified clay that is used primarily as a thickener in cosmetics and beauty products. It is naturally of a flaky, white consistency and is used most often as a filler in deodorants, shaving creams and thick lotions. It is also important to note that Magnesium Aluminum Silicate has unusually large molecules; because of these large molecules, it is unable to be absorbed into the skin.

How does lotion feel?

Like lard or baking grease. you know shampoo or something. Hello Friend, Well, it's hard to say, because we all have different opinions on what "smooth" or "real smooth" feels like. Overall lotion "cream" (assuming it is for the skin) is designed to hydrate your skin, making it smoother and at times shinny. Also, time of day, weather condition, etc. plays a role in deciding which one to use, ex: winter lotion is usually more oily (for types of skin) summer lotion much lighter for cooling purpose, and etc. My opinion: as long that it doesn't hurt your skin, and it serves the purpose, you should keep on using.
