Angel dusting
Angel Dusting
Angel dusting (/ˈeɪndʒəl ˈdʌstɪŋ/) is a term used in the cosmetic industry and pharmaceutical industry to describe the practice of including a small amount of an active ingredient in a product, so small that it is unlikely to have any therapeutic effect.
Etymology
The term "angel dusting" is derived from the idea that the ingredient is used in such small quantities that it is as if it has been dusted over the product. The term is often used in a negative context, as it can be seen as misleading to consumers who believe they are purchasing a product with significant amounts of a beneficial ingredient.
