Simple solutions for health and wellness help people enhance their everyday quality of life. Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is a gentle, yet powerful ingredient in oral care and deodorant, as well as a buffer and abrasive in cosmetics.
Toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate from Natural Soda and Natrium Products—part of Huber Specialty Minerals—helps to promote a healthy pH balance within the mouth, helps minimize bad breath and helps prevent infections. Additionally, its abrasiveness acts as a mechanical cleaner allowing excellent plaque removal and teeth whitening. In deodorants, this naturally occurring mineral reacts with odor-causing compounds to produce an odorless salt while also absorbing moisture such as sweat.
A gentle cleaning agent for tidy homes
When mixed into a cleaning solution, sodium bicarbonate creates an alkaline environment that can be used to remove grease and dirt. Sodium bicarbonate’s unique properties help break down difficult, greasy messes, causing them to simply rinse away. With the added benefit of odor control, sodium bicarbonate can be used in many cleaning situations to remove dirt, grime and unwanted odors.
Household odors are a common issue that can be combatted with sodium bicarbonate, a natural odor absorbing compound. When baking soda is placed in an area with odors, it reacts with the source of the offensive smell and produces an odorless salt. Natural Soda’s sodium bicarbonate has been approved for Safer Choice / Cleangrients by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Trusted by nature
Sodium bicarbonate is a versatile ingredient, available in various size grades to meet the needs of customers including personal and home care product manufacturers. Our Natural Soda organization conducts a unique process that does not require chemical alteration to the soda. Instead, sodium bicarbonate is recovered using a process known as solution mining. This involves pumping hot water approximately 1,900 feet underground to dissolve the underlying nahcolite beds and return the bicarb-saturated water to the surface. The solution is pumped back to the processing facility where the sodium bicarbonate is extracted. Sodium bicarbonate is crystallized by reducing the temperature of the solution, and the crystals are collected for further processing. Excess water is then removed by high-speed spin drying. The resultant damp crystal mass is further dried, screened and packed in accordance with industry designated specifications—all while maintaining stringent quality accreditation standards.
