Information
Sodium Chloride, commonly known as table salt, is a simple ionic compound made up of sodium and chloride ions. In skincare products, it serves multiple purposes, including as an exfoliant and mild cleanser.
Where does it come from?
Sodium Chloride is widely available and sourced from natural deposits of salt mines or evaporated seawater. It is extracted through mining or evaporation processes, where seawater is collected in shallow ponds and allowed to evaporate, leaving behind salt crystals. The salt is then purified to remove impurities before being used in various applications, including skincare products.
Exfoliation: In higher concentrations, Sodium Chloride can act as a natural exfoliant, helping to slough off dead skin cells and promote smoother, more radiant skin.
Hydration: Although it is a salt, Sodium Chloride can help maintain the skin's moisture balance by preventing excessive dryness and promoting a healthy skin barrier.
Cleansing: It can aid in cleansing the skin by helping to dissolve and remove impurities, excess oil, and dirt.
Stabilization: Sodium Chloride helps stabilize formulations by controlling the viscosity and consistency of products, ensuring they maintain their intended texture and performance.
Antiseptic Properties: It has mild antiseptic properties, which can help reduce the risk of infection in minor cuts and abrasions.
How is it used in our products?
Sodium Chloride is used, for example, in F71 Corrective Cleansing Gel and B53 Grapefruit Rose Shower Gel from OLIVEDA. It is included for its exfoliating ability to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal and a more refined skin texture. It helps with the cleansing process by dissolving impurities and excess oil.
