INCI: Sodium tetraborate

Essentially Natural Borax Powder is a mineral salt, sodium tetraborate, used mainly in household cleaning projects, DIY laundry blends and utility-focused recipes. It is valued as a practical booster ingredient in home cleaning and washing applications where a fine powder format is preferred. This is a household-use ingredient rather than a personal care active, and it should be handled carefully to avoid dust exposure. It is best kept for external utility use.

♡ Why we love it: Borax is a practical utility ingredient for low-clutter cleaning cupboards and simple make-your-own household recipes. It is straightforward to measure and useful for people building more hands-on laundry and cleaning routines.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Wonders of Borax

This is truly a kitchen staple. It removed terrible odour from towels that no other treatment was able to do. Good to eliminate rats and mice without passing on poison to other predators of rodents. Magic happens when you dip copper into water and borax solution.

Borax Works!

Borax is an excellent and essential ingredient in my home made washing powder. It really does lift stains and brightens colours in every wash! I even use it to deter ants around the house.

Ordering from you is such a pleasure. Quick and easy and I received delivery the next day. I mix borax, washing soda, Epsom Salts and baking soda for my laundry and know that it will be cleaned without harmful chemicals. I even use a pinch of borax in water and consume for pain. Love your service.

So happy!

Firstly, delivery was super fast, amazing service! Secondly, I put a cup of borax in my top loader when doing a load of washing because of hard water and I have found items are definitely being washed more effectively, materials are softer and geberally feel more clean. I had no idea I needed this for hard water until I randomly read about this, so glad i did, makes a massive difference.
