In personal care

A mineral salt combining potassium, magnesium, and the amino acid aspartic acid, used in small amounts in skin and hair care formulas.

Why it’s used

Included as a skin conditioning agent, sometimes meant to evoke the mineral content of thermal spring waters.

What the evidence says

This is a minor, lightly studied cosmetic ingredient. There is little published research specifically on its topical use, though its component minerals and amino acids are common and well-characterized substances.
