INCI: Sodium tetraborate

Essentially Natural Borax Powder is a mineral salt used mainly in household cleaning projects, DIY laundry blends, and other 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: We choose to stock borax as a practical utility ingredient for low-clutter cleaning cupboards and simple make-your-own household recipes. It is straightforward to use, easy to measure, and useful for people building more hands-on laundry and cleaning routines.
