##INCI Name: Sodium Chloride

**Purposes:** _Bulking_ , _Masking_ , _Viscosity Control_ ,

Table salt is used in formulations as a bulking agent, masking agent, and viscosity controller. It can also be used to change the shape of fatty-acid-composed micelles. This works by the ions themselves nestling in between individual molecules to influence the meta-structure of the surfactant-solvent environment. This can affect the texture and cleansing properties of soap or synthetic detergent systems.

We recommend that you check in with your physician to make sure Sodium Chloride is compatible based on your personal concerns.
