An amino acid, L-Arginine typically functions as a pH adjuster. Since L-Arginine is a base (alkaline pH, the pH of a 10% solution is between 10.5-12), it is used to increase the pH of the cosmetic ingredients. It is much more milder and easier to work with NaOH (sodium hydroxide, caustic soda) or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium bicarb) and we recommend its application over the others.
Parts Used: Glucose from non GMO corn.
