The product manufacturer has listed sodium hydroxide on the product label or
has informed Skin Deep's research team that it is used to make the product.
In a properly manufactured soap, this common raw ingredient completely
reacts with oils; none remains in the product. Therefore, the hazards
associated with sodium hydroxide are not considered relevant for this
product.
