POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE 90% FLAKE (LYE)

Potassium Hydroxide 90% Flake: The Essential Ingredient for High-Performance Cosmetics

Potassium hydroxide is also called caustic potash or lye is an organic compound formed by reacting sodium hydroxide and potassium.

Potassium hydroxide is used to control and establish the pH of cosmetic products. The pH of the skin is slightly acidic, known as the acidic mantle. Since too acidic pH can irritate the skin and harms the skin, while too basic pH can cause depletion of vital lipids from the skin. pH adjusters or buffers maintain this pH balance of the product and avoids the skin’s pH to shift too far from the normal range.

It is also used in the saponification of oils which is quite an important step in making bath soaps or washes. It is used in formulations of bath products, cleansing agents, make-up products, shaving products, and other personal care products.
