The Story

  Of Upsalite®

It all started with the impossible material at Uppsala University in Sweden.

Back in 2012, Professor Maria Strømme and her pharmaceutical research colleagues serendipitously invented a material that was previously said to be impossible, as researchers had tried for over 100 years –  the first and only mesoporous (super porous) magnesium carbonate - Upsalite®.

This novel material has both a high surface area and large pore volume which enables absorption of both hydrophilic (water) and lipophilic (oil) substances simultaneously!

What Makes Upsalite® Unique?

✶ Dual Absorption


A high surface area and large pore volume enables absorption of both hydrophilic (water) and lipophilic (oil) substances simultaneously.


✶ Easy To Apply


Porous structure particles adheres to surfaces better for easy application and even coating on the skin.

✶ Superior Absorbing Capacity


Every gram has up to 800 sqm surface area, equal to about two tennis courts and made up of millions of pores., increasing its effectiveness over time.


✶ Efficient Coverage


Gets into small crevices in your skin and will absorb excessive moisture more efficiently.
