About Calcium Hydroxide

Calcium hydroxide is an inorganic base.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to buffer the formula so its acidity does not change rapidly.[3] It is described as a white granule with no distinct odor, so checking first which phase—water or oil—it dissolves in, then dissolving or dispersing it in the appropriate phase, makes it easier to create a uniform formula.[2]
