Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)

Sodium Hydroxide is a solid ionic compound. It is also known as caustic soda, Iye, sodium hydrate or soda lye. Sodium hydroxide is produced as a co-product in the production of chlorine. In its pure form, it is crystalline solid, and colourless in nature. This compound is highly water-soluble and consists of sodium cations and hydroxide anions. NaOH absorbs moisture from the air. It is highly corrosive and can cause severe skin burns and irritation to the eyes and other body parts. It generates a high level of heat and so is always created by mixing the compound into the water, not vice versa. In cosmetics, this inorganic compound is used as a buffering agent. It can also control the pH levels. The pH of sodium hydroxide is 13.  Sodium hydroxide is sometimes known as caustic soda. It’s a frequent ingredient in cleaning products and soaps. Sodium hydroxide is a white, odourless substance at room temperature. Sodium hydroxide liquid is colourless and odourless. It is extremely reactive to strong acids and water.
