Ingredients and Materials

Active ingredient: Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) β€” commonly referred to as slaked lime or hydrated lime. No added fragrances, fillers or preservatives. Packaged in a resealable, food-grade bag (where applicable) and labelled by Brand Alpha.

How to Use

For traditional or culinary use (e.g., nixtamalization), follow established, safe recipes and regulated food-preparation methods. For small-scale DIY applications (cosmetic scrubs, pH adjustment in formula prototypes, craft uses): use gloves, eye protection, and measure precisely β€” start with very small amounts. Do not ingest unless using culinary-grade product with clear instructions. Always test formulations on a small patch before topical use. For paan/betel use follow cultural practices and local safety guidance.

Who It’s For

Ideal for artisans, traditional food preparers, small-batch DIY cosmetic formulators, craft hobbyists, and anyone needing a compact supply of slaked lime for low-volume or trial use. Not intended for large industrial applications.

Caution & Storage

Caution: Calcium hydroxide is a caustic alkaline powder. Avoid inhalation, eye contact and prolonged skin contact. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, mask) when handling. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not swallow. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture uptake and carbonation from atmospheric CO2. Dispose of according to local regulations.

Note: This product is sold as a mineral ingredient for traditional, culinary (where indicated), cosmetic prototype and household uses. It is not a medicine and should not be marketed with therapeutic claims.
