Is the distilled water used for car batteries the same as the distilled water used for cosmetic formulations? Can the distilled water sold for car batteries be used in cosmetic products?

Answer

Subject: Distilled water for cosmetics vs. cars

Based on the information provided:

  • Theoretically, distilled water for cosmetics and cars should be the same type.
  • However, in practice, much of the distilled water sold for cars may not be sufficiently pure. This is because even if the production process is clean, there is a high chance of contamination during transport and storage.
  • For cosmetic applications, high purity is essential to avoid introducing impurities that could affect the product's stability or safety.
  • Therefore, it is recommended to use distilled water specifically intended for cosmetic use or purchased from reliable sources like pharmacies, which are more likely to provide higher purity water.
  • Product ID 838 (Pure Distilled Water) is a relevant product.
