Borax is a powdery white substance, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate. It’s a combination of boron, sodium, and oxygen. It is an odorless, water-soluble powder. Borax is often found in dry lake beds in places like California’s Death Valley, where the water evaporated and left behind deposits of minerals. Borax is also an ingredient for making putty-like “slime” for kids. Thanks to its non-reactive nature, you can mix borax with many cleaning agents. Borax is the do-it-all compound that every home pantry should be equipped with, and Essencea Borax Powder contains no additives for purity and quality, so be sure to include it on your shopping list.
