Introduction:
Sodium Hydroxide, commonly known as Caustic Soda, is a highly alkaline compound used in cosmetics primarily for pH adjustment, soap making, and hair treatments. It plays a crucial role in saponification, the process of converting oils and fats into soap.
Manufacturing Process:-
Electrolysis of Brine Solution (Salt Water): Produces Sodium Hydroxide, Chlorine, and Hydrogen gas.
-
Evaporation & Drying: The liquid form is solidified into flakes, pearls, or pellets.
-
Purification & Packaging: Ensures high purity for cosmetic applications.
-
pH Regulator: Adjusts the pH of cosmetic formulations to ensure safety and effectiveness.
-
Essential in Soap Making: Reacts with fats and oils to create solid or liquid soaps.
-
Chemical Hair Treatments: Used in professional hair straightening and relaxing formulas.
-
Emulsifier & Cleaning Agent: Helps stabilize and cleanse formulations.
-
Skin Exfoliation (at very low concentrations): Used in some chemical peels to remove dead skin cells.
