Buffering

Hydrochloric Acid can be found in the human body. It used to adjust pH levels of basic solutions.

Buffering

Sodium Hydroxide is also known as lye or caustic soda. It is used to adjust the pH of products; many ingredients require a specific pH to be effective.

In small amounts, sodium hydroxide is considered safe to use. However, large amounts may cause chemical burns due to its high alkaline.

Your skin has a natural pH and acid mantle. This acid mantle helps prevent harmful bacteria from breaking through. The acid mantle also helps keep your skin hydrated.

"Alkaline" refers to a high pH level. A low pH level would be considered acidic.

Masking

Chances are, you eat sodium chloride every day. Sodium Chloride is also known as table salt.

This ingredient has many purposes in skincare: thickener, emulsifier, and exfoliator.

You'll most likely find this ingredient in cleansers where it is used to create a gel-like texture. As an emulsifier, it also prevents ingredients from separating.

Preservative

Imidazolidinyl Urea is a preservative and isn't fungal acne safe. It can cause irritation and worsen eczema.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

This worked GREAT for my psoriasis I had on my scalp, everyone i’ve started using it my dry scalp has not reappeared. I also heard you could use this as a mask for fungal acne, unfortunately, it didn’t help get rid of mine at all.😭 It appeared to help the first couple times i’ve used it, but by the second or third day of using it as a mask it makes my fungal acne much worse. I’ve heard other Show more

Horrible. if I could rate 0, I would. I have seb derm and this made it so much worse, likely the horrible fragrance that is beyond strong, it's nauseating. And also alcohols, and a vibrant bright pink dye. is dye even necessary?? for a product aimed at sensitive, skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, it has alot of horrible ingredients.
