Borax Pentahydrate Granular – 1kg
Borax Pentahydrate Granular
A must-have for DIY makers, crafters, and natural formulators. This powerful and multi-purpose ingredient is valued for its cleaning strength, emulsifying ability, and stabilising properties. Derived from natural mineral deposits, it offers an effective and eco-conscious alternative to synthetic chemicals.
In personal care and cosmetic formulations, borax serves as a pH adjuster, mild preservative booster, and stabiliser. When used correctly, it supports emulsions in lotions, creams, scrubs, and bath salts—improving texture and shelf life. Additionally, it’s commonly used in soap making to soften hard water and enhance mild cleansing properties.
Beyond cosmetics, borax is a favourite in household cleaning, slime-making, and laundry powder recipes. Its granular form dissolves easily in warm water and mixes effortlessly into DIY blends.
