Do not confuse with ...

• baking soda. This last is less alkaline, but with similar properties. Please note, unlike baking soda, soda crystals are too aggressive for cosmetic use. They are reserved for household use.
• The naoh caustic soda, which is much more alkaline and very corrosive. This is to be reserved for the manufacture of “house” soaps in cold saponification.
