Punpple Pure Borax Powder 500g Pp

Borax powder is used in skincare products to help balance the skin’s pH and control excess oil production. It, often used in its hydrated form, releases tiny amounts of Hydrògen peroxide when added to water. Hydrògen peroxide is known for its antiseptic properties that fight skin infections(1). This helps prevent the growth of microbes on and within the skin. In cosmetics like lotions and creams, borax loosens the water-based part of the products so it blends well with the oil-based components. This emulsifying action also extends the product’s shelf life by reducing the surface tension of water-based ingredients. Essentially, borax serves as a preservative, emulsifier, water softener, cleanser, particle suspender, and buffering agent in cosmetic products due to its relatively high pH value of 9.5.
