Description
Sodium hydroxide is used in skincare products to balance and maintain the pH levels. It is typically used in small amounts at low concentrations to prevent chemical burns, a possible side effect of high concentrations of sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide also helps fats and oils form into soap via saponification. While skincare products with sodium hydroxide can cause rashes, hives, irritation, and itching, they are usually safe when used in small amounts to balance the pH of the product and prevent damage to the skin’s acid mantle.
