Description

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3)  or Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, is an alkaline chemical compound that occurs naturally in a substance called natron. Natron is a natural deposit that forms in salt lake beds. However, most of the global production of sodium bicarbonate is achieved through a method called the “Solvay process” which involves mixing salt, limestone and ammonia.

Sodium Bicarbonate is a very versatile and effective substance for many purposes. It  is an inorganic salt more commonly known as baking soda. It has many functions in cosmetics, including pH adjuster, buffering agent, and abrasive, such as in face or body scrubs. It is used in small amounts to adjust and maintain the pH of cosmetic products.

Common Uses/ Benefits

In bath bombs, it can be mixed with citric acid to create a hard base that will dissolve and create fizz when plunged into hot water, helping to diffuse colours and essential oils. It also has a softening effect on hard water. 

In deodorants, sodium bicarbonate can neutralise acids in sweat, limit the growth of odour-producing bacteria, and absorb moisture. it is also used in cleaning and protecting the gums and teeth. The powder increases the pH of saliva and creates a hostile environment for acidic bacteria. In mouthwash, the gentle fizzing of the sodium bicarbonate combined with citric acid cleanses and deodorises without the need for alcohol. It is gentle on the skin and helps to draw out oil and impurities, leaving the skin feeling clean and smooth.
