- Fight Club showed us that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) can burn through skin, but did you know this corrosive ingredient is also in your cosmetics?! Find out what sodium hydroxide is doing in personal care products and why in low concentrations it can be totally safe! That's no lye! ;)

How does this not have more views??
+Kimberly Waggoner I know, right!?!? maybe I need to dissolve a chicken carcass instead of just a drumstick ;P
Very cool video, had no idea that sodium hydroxide could dissolve a chicken leg like that, very eye-opening. Nice to know that the chemical is safe at low concentrations.
Nelly Cardinale, Ed.D. Thank you for the comment Nelly! In chemistry, there is a saying that the dose is the poison and with sodium hydroxide this is definitely the case! Also when it's put into a cosmetic formulation, it reacts with the ingredients instead of your skin, impacting the pH of the formula.
This is so frickin' cool!
So cool! Definitely needs more views.
+Sally Punk Thanks Sally! Glad you liked!
It's nice to see someone with both brains and beauty. I like the pictorial content of the presentation. However, no pictorial content of cosmetic products were given. It's just my suggestion.
Good suggestion and thanks for the kind compliment. I rarely show products, but maybe I should. I need to look into the legality of showing product images or snap my own pics!
Hey I LUV your channel! You explain everything soo clearly and I live the fun side you add. Now I know you've already covered mineral oil but I just have one more question. Ladies who used it found droplets of mineral oil in there breast milk. Does that matter or is that okay? And does it cause premature ageing coz I really want to use it but I keep hearing different things!?! Arghhh :) please reply! Thanks xx
+pandacake7 PANDACAKE7!!! I LOVE YOUR HANDLE! It makes me think of 7 little Japanese rice cakes with cute panda faces. Google it! They do have such a thing! I've also been doing a lot of travel the last few months so please forgive the really late reply! You have a great question and I'm glad you asked it. Here is the answer:
Yes, droplets of mineral oil in breast milk and on the breast DO matter. I think the study you’re referring to is Exposure Of Babies to C15-C45 Mineral Paraffins From Human Milk and Breast Salves. Mineral paraffins refer to a several different types of petroleum based ingredients, but include mineral oil & Vaseline. The study concluded that breastfeeding moms should hold off on using paraffin (vaseline, mineral oil) products in breastcare because it significantly increased the amount of petroleum based products your baby is exposed to. Mineral paraffins are considered safe in human adults but these researchers were surprised at just how much was making its way to infants through breast milk and by breast balms made for nursing. Though there aren't any studies showing mineral oils have negative consequences on babies (they did some animal studies that were inconclusive), these researchers are playing it safe and recommending more infant toxicology studies so they can draw better conclusions on the amount of mineral paraffins babies can safely be exposed to.
Also, there are no studies supporting that idea that mineral oil supports premature aging. I hope this helps! Thanks for sending your question!
i'm still scared of this ingredient in my skincare ughhhh!
Nice
Damn serious production value and no views. Shame
+goodstuffohhyeah Thx! When it comes to the camera, I like to rock my own style and have fun with it. Happy to hear you're diggin' the production value! If you have a favorite video you like, give it a share! I think having a video shared by someone with the handle +goodstuffohhyeah is certain to get a look ;) BTW, nice handle!
I just purchased CeraVe pm moisturizer and it contains sodium hydroxide, it’s the 11th ingredient, will u say this is harmful because a lot of people complained of stinging with this product
Usually, sodium hydroxide is thrown in to adjust the pH so it feels better on skin. When it reacts with the other ingredients it's either neutralized or slightly acidic, so it must be something else causing the sting! I'll take a peek at the ingredients and let you know if I find anything that looks irritating!
msbeautyphile thank you 😊
Hi Brandi! I looked into this further. One of the ingredients that may be giving you some grief is niacinamide. It's the 4th ingredient in CeraVe PM. Reading from (Patricia K. Farris MD, "Niacinamide." Cosmeceuticals and Cosmetic Practice, 25 November 2018) ----> "Niacinamide can be used at high doses topically (at least up to 5%, the dose used in several commercial cosmetic products) and is generally well tolerated; however, in some rare cases, mild skin irritation has been observed." It's possible you are one of those rare cases!
msbeautyphile makes sense , thank you!
lets put it back in 😂
+Derik Scott Where were you when I made this video?!?! That's a great idea! The NaOH would have eaten through the "meat" and the only solid parts left would be the bone, which could be easily crushed with my fingers. Cray cray!
is lye solution used in Makin home made soaps good for skin???
Yes, lye is used to make soap products for skin. If the soap maker does it correctly, the lye won't matter because it all gets neutralized when it reacts with oil to make the soap, so there is no lye left in the formula. Hope that makes sense!
msbeautyphile okie thank you ;)
