ECOCERT MICROPEARL CAUSTIC SODA
Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, is a highly corrosive strong base with the chemical formula NaOH. It is notably used by manufacturers primarily as a pH agent for detergents and cosmetics, as a reagent for soap manufacturing, and as a paint stripper and degreaser.
This grade of caustic soda is compatible with the manufacture of organic and natural cosmetics and soaps. Manufactured and packaged in France, it is also part of a local approach. Furthermore, our caustic soda is a raw material verified by ECOCERT GREENLIFE, compliant with the ECODETERGENT and COSMOS (V3 only) standards. This makes it easier to compile your ECOCERT application files.
The caustic soda we offer is 99% pure. It comes in the form of white micropearls. We offer it in 25 kg bags, intended for professionals.
