Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), commonly known as baking soda, is a time-honored odor absorber and acid neutralizer. It can be found as a naturally occurring compound, but is more frequently manufactured from other naturally derived materials. It can be produced by the reaction of carbon dioxide and soda ash, a naturally occurring mineral. Sodium Bicarbonate’s odor-inhibiting and acid-neutralizing properties are well-known along with its abilities to remove dead skin cells and other impurities.
