What it is — Calcium Chloride (INCI: Calcium Chloride) is a mineral salt used to fine-tune a formula's texture and ionic balance.

What it does — It is commonly used at low levels to adjust viscosity and help stabilize certain gel and emulsion textures.

Typical use — It appears in gels, hydrogels, masks and some emulsions, usually in small amounts.

Who it suits / good to know — Broadly compatible; it is a texture and stability aid rather than a performance ingredient, so there is little for the skin to react to.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert mineral salt with low irritation potential. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - mineral salt/buffer, inert with low irritation potential.
