Water-based formulations are products that use water as the primary solvent or carrier. These formulations are commonly found in various industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and paints. They are often preferred for their lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them more environmentally friendly and safer for users. In addition to being eco-friendly, water-based formulations typically offer easier cleanup and application compared to solvent-based alternatives. They can provide effective performance in delivering active ingredients, such as in skin care products or adhesives. This versatility makes them a popular choice for both consumers and manufacturers.
