Description:

Sodium Hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye. It is commonly used in skincare products for its ability to adjust pH levels and act as a strong alkali. It is important to handle and use Sodium Hydroxide with caution due to its corrosive nature.

Benefits:

  • pH adjustment: Sodium Hydroxide is commonly used in skincare formulations to adjust the pH levels of products, ensuring they fall within the desired range for optimal effectiveness.
  • Chemical reactions: It can be used in various chemical processes, such as saponification, which is the reaction between Sodium Hydroxide and fats/oils to produce soap.
  • Emulsification: Sodium Hydroxide can aid in the emulsification process, allowing the blending of water-based and oil-based ingredients in skincare formulations.

Usage: Sodium Hydroxide should be handled with care and used in appropriate quantities, following safety guidelines and recommended usage levels.

Recommended Usage in Skincare Products:

The recommended usage of Sodium Hydroxide in skincare products can vary depending on the specific formulation and desired pH level. It is essential to refer to the recommended usage guidelines.

Solubility: Sodium Hydroxide is highly soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into water-based skincare formulations. However, it is not soluble in oils or other non-polar solvents.

Applications:

  • pH adjustment in skincare products
  • Saponification in soap-making processes
  • Emulsification of water-based and oil-based ingredients

Storage: Sodium Hydroxide should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and incompatible substances. It is important to keep it in a well-sealed container to prevent contact with air, water, or other reactive materials. Proper storage can help maintain its stability and extend its shelf life. Additionally, it should be stored out of reach of children and handled with appropriate safety precautions.
