Description

Because sodium chloride exists as small crystalline particles, this ingredient can act as a mild abrasive in products such as body and face scrubs. These products will help exfoliate the top layers of the skin, removing makeup, excess oil, dirt, and other impurities that may have accumulated throughout the day. Another function of sodium chloride in cosmetics and personal care products is as a thickener. Thickeners and gelling agents in mixtures of organic solvents and aqueous solutions are widely used in the cosmetic industry due to their ability to give products the desired useful properties, that is, consistency, viscosity, or adhesion.
