What is the purpose of the stick?
Here is what one ingredient seller said about it:
Dicalcium Phosphate Anhydrous is supplied as a white powder. It can be used as an abrasive and opacifying agent in cosmetic products.

I guess it is used as a helper for a clean scrub of from the stick to the skin. it brakes the crystal structure of the wax and makes the stick easier to apply without losing the heat stability of the stick in general. although it helps to mattify the tone of the stick I would guess from the INCI it is a foundation stick or something similar.
