Potassium Chloride is a naturally occurring salt derived from the ground or sea. It is a potassium-based salt that food manufacturers mostly use to replace sodium chloride, or table salt. It is used as a medication to treat low potassium levels in the blood. Potassium chloride can be obtained from ancient dried lake deposits. It is also used in skincare products as an exfoliating agent. It helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, making it suitable for all skin types.
