Baking Soda is the traditional name for sodium hydrogen carbonate, the sodium salt of carbonic acid.
Application. Baking soda is widely used in cooking as a leavening agent. When it reacts with an acid, carbon dioxide is released, which forms pores in the dough and makes the pastry fluffy and crumbly.
Baking soda is also used in home cosmetics to create natural skincare and hair care products.
Important! It is not recommended to ingest baking soda orally, as it may irritate mucous membranes and harm health.
Storage. It is recommended to store baking soda in a dry, cool, and dark place, in a tightly closed container to prevent moisture absorption and loss of leavening properties.
Precautions. When using baking soda in cooking and home cosmetics, you should exercise caution and follow usage instructions. Avoid contact with eyes and damaged skin.
Important! Before using baking soda as a cosmetic product, it is recommended to consult a doctor or cosmetologist to avoid possible allergic reactions or other unwanted consequences.
