General Description

FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH is the cosmetic-grade form of Potassium Hydroxide, a strong inorganic base widely used as a pH adjuster, neutralizing agent, and saponification catalyst in personal care formulations. It appears as a white solid or in solution form and is highly soluble in water. In the cosmetics industry, FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH is critical in the production of liquid soaps and emulsions, where precise pH control and conversion of fatty acids into potassium salts are essential. It enables formulators to create stable, high-performance skincare and cleansing products.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH plays a vital role in the formulation of:

: Reacts with fatty acids during saponification to create potassium soaps, which are water-soluble and gentle on the skin.
: Functions as a key active ingredient for breaking disulfide bonds in hair structure.
: Used in creams, lotions, and gels to balance or raise pH to desired levels.
: Helps stabilize formulations and emulsify oils for smoother application.
Many manufacturers source FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH in bulk to produce high-alkaline cosmetic products where saponification and pH balancing are essential to product performance.

Hazards

FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH must be handled with care due to its high reactivity:

: In concentrated form, it can cause severe skin burns and irritation; it must be diluted appropriately in cosmetic formulations.
: Highly corrosive to the eyes; protective measures are critical during handling.
: Dust or aerosols can irritate respiratory passages—adequate ventilation and protective gear are necessary in manufacturing environments.

Storage & Stability


: Store in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and incompatible materials (like acids). Use corrosion-resistant storage solutions.
: Stable under dry, controlled conditions; reacts strongly with water and acids.
FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH is available for wholesale and bulk supply, offering cosmetic manufacturers a reliable alkali for high-quality soap and skincare production. Proper use and formulation practices ensure both performance and consumer safety.

CAS Number: 1310-58-3

INCI: Potassium Hydroxide

Composition:FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH consists of high-purity potassium hydroxide, a strong inorganic base used for pH adjustment, saponification, and neutralization in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Purity Grade: Cosmetic/Pharmaceutical/Industrial Grade (typically ≥ 85–90% for solid form, or as a 45% aqueous solution)

Solubility: Freely soluble in water and alcohol; exothermic when dissolved

Preservation: Preservative-free (does not support microbial growth)

Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, away from moisture, acids, and incompatible materials. For liquid form, use corrosion-resistant storage and keep at ambient temperature in a dry, ventilated area.

Raw Material Sources: Synthesized from potassium salts (such as potassium chloride) through electrolysis

Manufacture: FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH is produced via the electrolysis of potassium chloride (KCl) in a membrane cell process, yielding high-purity potassium hydroxide and chlorine gas as by-product

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (synthetic, not biologically sourced)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH complies with international cosmetic regulatory standards, including EU Cosmetic Regulation and FDA guidelines for safe pH adjustment in formulations

Warning: Corrosive. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Handle with care using appropriate protective equipment. Avoid inhalation of dust or vapors. Always add KOH to water when diluting, never the reverse.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH is a high-purity grade of Potassium Hydroxide, commonly used as a pH adjuster, saponifying agent, and neutralizer in personal care formulations. It plays a crucial role in producing liquid soaps, creams, lotions, and hair care products by maintaining the desired pH balance and enhancing formulation stability.

CAS Number: 1310-58-3
INCI Name: Potassium Hydroxide

pH Regulation: Helps maintain or adjust the pH of formulations for skin compatibility.
Soap Production: Used in the saponification process to convert fats and oils into potassium-based soaps.
Versatility: Functions as a neutralizer in creams, lotions, and hair straightening products.
Stability: Enhances the stability of emulsions by optimizing the pH environment.

Liquid Hand Soaps and Body Washes: Essential in creating potassium-based soap formulas.
Hair Relaxers and Straighteners: Used for adjusting alkalinity in hair treatments.
Shaving Creams: Assists in saponification and emulsion stabilization.
Lotions and Creams: Acts as a neutralizer to balance acidity from other ingredients.
Facial Cleansers: Used in low concentrations to maintain a suitable pH.

Yes, FINECHEMO ALKALI KOH is considered safe when used in appropriate, regulated concentrations. Its use is governed by cosmetic regulations, and it must be handled and formulated with care, especially due to its strong alkaline nature.

In its raw form, Potassium Hydroxide is highly caustic and can cause irritation or burns. However, when properly diluted and neutralized in cosmetic formulations, it is safe for topical use. It is essential that it is used by trained professionals following recommended guidelines.
