| SODIUM HYDROXIDE | Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive), Use restrictions | 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. |
