Sea Kelp Extract: Electrolyte Properties and Formulation Impact
Question
Is Sea Kelp Extract an electrode or does it have electrolyte properties? How do these properties, particularly the salt content from its marine origin, affect cosmetic formulations, especially when used at different concentrations?
Answer
Based on the information provided, Sea Kelp Extract is not an electrode. However, because it is derived from the sea and contains a small amount of salt, it has mild electrolyte properties. Electrolytes are substances that can conduct electricity when dissolved. The staff mentioned that this mild electrolyte property does not usually cause problems in formulations when Sea Kelp Extract is used at normal, low concentrations. Using it in large amounts is not recommended anyway due to the potential for an unpleasant smell.
