Sodium Chloride
Sodium Chloride also known as common salt or table salt is a naturally occurring mineral that finds frequent application in cosmetics and personal care products. Its usage in formulations is as an active ingredient in thickening agent, exfoliant, and to control viscosity of a product.
BENIFITS :
Sodium Chloride is used as an abrasive agent in scrubs and other kinds of exfoliation products that will remove dead skin cells and create a more refined skin finish. It also assists in maintaining product form stability which helps create formulations that are nicer for the skin. In exfoliants, the function is most useful as it serves to give skin a softened buffing surface. Sodium Chloride also has the effect of increasing the efficiency of cleaning products since it makes the product produce more lather and effectively soften the dirt and oil particles.
SKIN TYPES :
The cleaning ability of Sodium Chloride can be useful in washing normal to oily skin due to its ability in effectively cleaning away excess oil and dirt. People with combination skin can also use items containing Sodium Chloride in their skin care regimen; especially those products like the cleaners and the exfoliants.
