The foundation for the technology is in the chemical reaction
between aluminum powder and water to produce hydrogen.
Dr. Elitzur's research was focused on the reaction between the
activated aluminum powder and water (from different types) to produce hydrogen.
Exposure may also contribute to Shaver's disease, which is a pulmonary fibrosis seen in workers exposed to
fine aluminum powders.
She begins with the first pressure suits from the 1930s, works through to the shimmery attire of the Mercury era (green nylon coated
in aluminum powder), and onto Gemini and Apollo.
In a group of paintings on the CAC's first floor, grids of dots and carefully placed splotches sit among glowing fields of paint mixed
with aluminum powder, giving the works the perceived weight and shine of metal.
Aluminum powder is used as a colorant in many cosmetics but mainly in nail polish, eye shadow, eye liner, and lip gloss.
Like most conventional cosmetic products, though, most mascaras on the market contain some unhealthy chemicals like parabens (endocrine disruptors that have been linked to cancer),
aluminum powder (a neurotoxin that is considered to be far worse than mercury — yikes!)

If it's conventional makeup, most likely plastic,
aluminum powder or tin oxide.

Dilation and hypertrophy of the right side of the heart have been seen in workers exposed to
aluminum powder, as have decreased red blood cell hemoglobin and finger clubbing.
