Sodium Hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide is a highly effective alkaline ingredient widely used in cosmetic manufacturing, especially in soap production. It plays an essential role in the saponification process, where oils and fats are transformed into soap.

Benefits of Sodium Hydroxide in Cosmetics

• Soap Making Essential: Reacts with oils and butters to create solid or liquid soap.

• pH Adjuster: Helps balance and stabilize the pH of certain formulations.

• Improves Product Performance: Ensures proper cleansing action in soap products.

How It Is Used

• Carefully measured and dissolved in water during the soap-making process.

• Combined with oils and butters to produce soap through saponification.

• Used in controlled amounts under strict safety guidelines.

Important Note

Sodium hydroxide is a powerful ingredient in its raw form and must be handled with care during manufacturing. However, in properly formulated and fully cured soap, it is no longer present in its active form, making the final product safe for use.
