Bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a natural and safe ingredient that should be present in every home. It contains no additives and, thanks to its neutrality, is often used as a natural alternative to many synthetic products.

It has a slightly abrasive texture, which makes it ideal for mechanical cleaning of surfaces or as a skin scrub. At the same time it works excellently as a deodorant, a toothpaste ingredient, a fabric softener, a bathroom cleaner or as an aid in making natural cleaning products.

Although it is a simple ingredient, it has an exceptional effect: it breaks down grease, removes stains, disinfects surfaces and at the same time looks after the skin. With its help you can create an eco-friendly, health-friendly home and give your body natural care without chemicals.
