I understand that it is traditionally used for stomach problems, I'm just wondering exactly what this stuff is / what it's made of? Thanks... =)

Milk of Magnesia or Magnesium Hydroxide, Mg(OH)2 is a saline osmotic (hydrating) laxative. The name derives from the suspension's milky white appearance and the magnesium in its composition.

It is magnesium (an element), suspended in a liquid. It is or was used to coat the stomach. It neutralized stomach either the gas or the acid in the stomach.

yes, it can be used as a make up primer. I believe it helps with oiliness. But why don't you just go buy make-up primer instead? so you spend a few more dollars but your face won't smell funny.
