Disincrustation solutions are formulated to be:

Disincrustation solutions are specifically formulated to be alkaline. The reason for this formulation lies in the chemistry of skin and sebum. Sebum, which is an oily substance produced by sebaceous glands, is primarily composed of fat, and alkaline solutions can effectively emulsify this oil.

When an alkaline solution is applied to the skin, it helps to soften and break down the hardened sebum that can clog pores, making it easier to extract impurities during facial treatments. This is particularly useful in deep cleaning procedures, where the goal is to remove excess oil and debris from the skin.

In addition, the alkaline nature of disincrustation solutions enhances the efficacy of galvanic treatments which produce an electrochemical reaction that aids in the cleansing process. The pH level of the solution plays a critical role in how well it will perform in disincrustation, which is why maintaining an alkaline condition is vital in esthetic practices aimed at achieving clearer skin.
