potassium phosphate

Low risk

Functionbuffer

What it is — Potassium Phosphate (INCI: Potassium Phosphate) is a mineral salt used mainly as a buffer to set and hold a formula's pH.

What it does — It helps keep a product at its target pH so it stays stable and comfortable on skin over its shelf life.

Typical use — It appears at low levels across many water-based products, including toners, serums and creams, as part of the base.

Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin; it is a background processing aid rather than something applied for a skin benefit.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert buffer used in tiny amounts. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — inert buffer.
