About Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrochloric Acid is an inorganic acid.[1] The physical properties and sensory feel of Hydrochloric Acid in finished products may vary depending on the concentration, the ingredients used with it, the acidity of the formulation, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to buffer the formulation so that its acidity does not change rapidly.[3] It is described as colorless and having a strong odor; based on these confirmed physical properties, the order of addition and mixing method are determined when incorporating it into formulations.[2]
