Water may constitute one of the phases of an emulsion (to help alter its texture), but it can also be used as a solvent to dissolve or dilute certain ingredients. It may be added to a formula during the production stage, or it may already be present in certain raw materials used in the formula. The water we use is sourced near our production sites and is then purified in order to obtain a level of purity and quality that is consistent with current regulatory requirements.
