Electrolytes

Electrolytes are ions dissolved into a medium like water that conduct electricity. The ions have electrical charges, they may be negatively charged or anionic or positively charged or cationic, and can interact with our products by altering the viscosity or clarity or by ruining the emulsion. Salts are electrolytes, which is why they don’t play nice with gels, some emulsions, and some surfactants.
