Prohibit Potassium Hydroxide (Lye) from all soaps, hair, skin and oral care products
*Please see symptoms for skin...
Wikipedia article:
Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula KOH, commonly called caustic potash.
Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), this colorless solid is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications. Most applications exploit its reactivity toward acids and its corrosive nature. In 2005, an estimated 700,000 to 800,000 tonnes were produced. Approximately 100 times more NaOH than KOH is produced annually.[3][4][5] KOH is noteworthy as the precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals.
Manufacture of soft soaps
The saponification of fats with KOH is used to prepare the corresponding "potassium soaps", which are softer than the more common sodium hydroxide-derived soaps. Because of their softness and greater solubility, potassium soaps require less water to liquefy, and can thus contain more cleaning agent than liquefied
