Calcium Carbonate
Homecare
Gentle mineral abrasives and functional fillers for cleaning and personal care.
The mild abrasive in a cleaning cream, the carrier in a powder detergent, the polishing agent in toothpaste — calcium carbonate's controlled hardness (Mohs 3) makes it the safe abrasive of choice for surfaces and skin alike.
Omya Idwala supplies tightly classified grades with the whiteness, purity, and particle-size control that homecare and personal-care formulators require, manufactured to consistent specification batch after batch.
