SODIUM ACETATE

Safety grade: A

Sodium acetate is a salt derived from acetic acid (the main component of vinegar) that helps balance the pH of cosmetic products. It works to maintain the right acidity level so formulas feel comfortable on skin and perform as intended.

This ingredient acts as a buffering agent to stabilize and maintain the pH of cosmetic formulas, while also helping to mask or reduce unpleasant odors that other ingredients might have.
