Potassium Sulphate (Cosmetic Grade)

Bath Salt & Spa Grade — Bulk supply across India & International Markets

What is Potassium Sulphate (Cosmetic Grade)?

Potassium Sulphate in Cosmetic Grade is a pure, high-quality mineral salt increasingly used as a component in bath salt blends, mineral body scrub formulations, and spa treatment products. It is a white crystalline solid valued in cosmetic applications for its good water solubility, neutral skin compatibility, and its ability to contribute a pleasant "mineral" feel to bath and body products as part of multi-mineral bath salt blends alongside Epsom Salt and other mineral ingredients.

Polychem Industries supplies Cosmetic Grade Potassium Sulphate to bath and body product manufacturers, spa product formulators, and wellness product companies across India and internationally. As the bath and mineral spa product category has grown, potassium sulphate has become recognised as a valued mineral salt ingredient alongside the more commonly known Epsom Salt, contributing potassium mineral content and textural properties to premium mineral bath formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Potassium Sulphate used in bath salts alongside Epsom Salt?
While Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate) is the most well-known bath salt mineral, premium mineral bath formulations often incorporate multiple mineral salts to create a more complex mineral profile. Potassium Sulphate contributes potassium mineral content and a slightly different crystal texture and feel compared to Epsom Salt, allowing formulators to create more nuanced mineral bath products with their own distinct sensory characteristics.
Is Cosmetic Grade Potassium Sulphate different from agricultural grade?
Yes — Cosmetic Grade is processed and tested to appropriate purity specifications for personal care applications, including heavy metal limits relevant to skin contact use. Our Cosmetic Grade Potassium Sulphate carries a Certificate of Analysis confirming it meets specifications appropriate for cosmetic product manufacturing.
What makes Potassium Sulphate suitable for bath and scrub products specifically?
Potassium Sulphate has good water solubility, a skin-neutral pH, good handling stability (non-hygroscopic), and a clean white appearance โ€” all desirable properties for a cosmetic bath ingredient. Its crystalline structure also provides appropriate particle hardness for use as a physical exfoliant in scrub formulations that dissolve cleanly during rinsing.
Do you export Cosmetic Grade Potassium Sulphate outside India?
