Sodium Chloride
Sodium chloride, widely known as common salt, is a naturally occurring mineral essential for life. It is primarily used as a natural abrasive, thickener, and stabiliser in personal care and household cleaning products.
We use this ingredient to enhance the texture of many of our products, ensuring they're just the right thickness. In our bar soaps, salt is added to improve the hardness of the finished bar.
