Baking Soda

Sodium Bicarbonate

Low Risk
Non-comedogenic · Non-irritating

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is occasionally used in skincare as a pH adjuster and gentle physical exfoliant. However, its high pH (8–9) makes it disruptive to the skin's naturally acidic barrier (pH 4.5–5.5), and dermatologists generally advise against using it directly on the face, as it can cause irritation, dryness, and increased sensitivity.
