Sodium Chloride
Definition
Sodium chloride is a carrier that is most commonly known as table salt, and it can also be found in many household products, including shampoos, makeup, and bath products. A carrier does just what it sounds like - it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply by ensuring the even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use sodium chloride because, without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface.
