More Information
Dissolving agents aid in the solubilization of various ingredients to create effective and stable products. These agents, often referred to as solvents, are substances capable of dissolving other substances, enabling the homogeneous dispersion of active compounds within cosmetic formulations.
The principle behind dissolving agents lies in their ability to break down molecular bonds within substances, allowing them to mix uniformly with other ingredients. Alcohol is a common dissolving agent in skincare products, but it's not the high concentration (75%) medical disinfectant alcohol we typically imagine. In cosmetics, its content is strictly controlled to around 2%, which is almost negligible. Unless someone has a particularly sensitive reaction to alcohol, it's generally safe to use.
Common solvents include:
•Water
•Ethanol
•Glycerin
