What is it?
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 eliminate impurities before being used in various applications, including skincare products.
