What It Does

Sodium Carbonate Peroxide is an adduct of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide that releases oxygen and forms sodium carbonate upon dissolution in water. This white, crystalline powder is valued in cosmetics for its controlled oxygen-release properties, making it particularly useful in teeth whitening formulations, cleansing products, and as a bleaching agent. The coated granular form with 13% available oxygen provides enhanced stability during storage and allows for more predictable oxygen release when activated by water, which is why formulators prefer it over uncoated versions for consumer products.
