Description

Calcium hydroxide has several important functions: 1. Regulating pH level: used to change the pH of cosmetic products, allowing for an optimal acid-base balance to ensure the stability and effectiveness of other components. 2. Saponification: used for the production of soaps and solid fatty products. 3. Emulsifier: in cosmetic emulsions (e.g. creams), calcium hydroxide can help stabilize the water-oil mixture components.
