Potassium Hydroxide

Definition Inorganic hydroxides are alkaline salts formed by treating oxides with water or via decomposing salts by adding other soluble hydroxides to a solution thereof (e.g., adding sodium hydroxide to magnesium sulfate will produce magnesium hydroxide). The formation of an inorganic hydroxide, such as specifically lime or calcium hydroxide, by reaction of an oxide with water is a known as slaking.7 The resulting highly water soluble ingredients only vary structurally by the metal cation. These variations result in different degrees of alkalinity across these four ingredients, ranging in pK b values from 0.2 to 4.0. Used primarily as pH adjusters (to increase the pH of an otherwise acidic formulation), the caustic nature of these ingredients is unlikely to be observable in typical, final cosmetic formulations.

The formation of an inorganic hydroxide, such as specifically lime or calcium hydroxide, by reaction of an oxide with water is known as slaking.11 The resulting highly water soluble ingredients only vary structurally by the metal cation. These variations result in different degrees of basicity across these four ingredients, ranging in pK b values from 0.2 to 4.0. Used primarily as pH adjusters (to increase the pH of an otherwise acidic formulation), the caustic nature of these ingredients is unlikely to be observable in typical, final cosmetic formulations, except when used in depilatory or hair straightener product types.
