Premium USP Caustic Potash Flakes

Soapmaking Alkali

Alkali for saponifying oils and adjusting pH.

FUNCTION
Soapmaking alkali
APPLICATIONS
Liquid soapHandmade soapspH adjustment
DESCRIPTION

USP-grade caustic potash (potassium hydroxide) in flakes, for saponifying oils into liquid soap or soft soap paste, and for adjusting pH. It is corrosive: handle with gloves and safety glasses.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Use the amount needed to reach the formula's target pH.
How to use and incorporate: For soap: always dissolve the lye in cold or distilled water (never the water onto the lye), in a stainless steel or polypropylene container and in a ventilated area; the solution heats up. Calculate the amount with a lye calculator based on each oil's saponification value and a 3–8 % superfat.
Formulation tips:
  • Adjust the pH at the end of the process, once all ingredients have been added.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Check compatibility with pH-sensitive actives.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry place, protected from light.
Precautions: Corrosive: causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Wear nitrile gloves, safety glasses and long sleeves, and work with ventilation. In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
