Water soluble

Water Soluble Ingredients or Chemicals 

Description of Water soluble: a water soluble substance is a substance that can dissolve in water. Knowing the solubility of the ingredients that make up a formulation is crucial to developing a product, both for the effects of the final formulation, as well as for the production process. For example in the Personal Care industry, most products are water based. However, many ingredients in perfumes and UV filters do not dissolve in water, requiring other, often alcohol based, solutions. Water solubility also determines the degree of biodegradability and bioavailability of a chemical substance. Water soluble chemicals are more likely to be absorbed by aquatic species such as algae and fish. Highly water-soluble chemicals are more likely to be decomposed by photolysis or hydrolysis.
