About this ingredient

Water is the primary solvent and universal base ingredient in most cosmetic and skincare formulations. It dissolves and disperses other ingredients, provides hydration to the skin, and serves as the vehicle for delivering active compounds. Water is essential for maintaining skin moisture and forming stable emulsions in creams, lotions, and serums.
