Demineralized water in bulk

What is demineralized water?

Demineralized water is water from which dissolved mineral salts have been removed. It is the base of the aqueous phase of most cosmetic formulas: emulsions, lotions, shampoos, gels and diluted hydrosols. Lotus Lab supplies it in bulk to professionals, in 10 liter lots.

Identification

INCI name: Aqua. CAS No. 7732-18-5, EC No. 231-791-2. Function: solvent, aqueous phase. Appearance: clear, colorless, odorless liquid.

What is demineralized water used for in formulation?

• Aqueous phase of creams, milks and lotions (oil-in-water emulsions)
• Base of shampoos, shower gels and liquid soaps
• Dilution of surfactants, actives and pH solutions
• Preparation of stock solutions (preservatives, water-soluble colorants)

How much should be used?

It completes the formula to 100% (q.s.). In a standard emulsion the aqueous phase usually represents 50 to 90% of the formula; in a shampoo, between 60 and 85%. The absence of dissolved salts limits the risk of incompatibility with ingredients sensitive to calcium and magnesium ions.

Handling precautions

Water alone is not preserved: every aqueous formula requires a suitable preservative system. Keep the container closed, away from light and heat, and use clean containers to avoid contamination.
