I'm ready to get all natural products for personal care, and am wondering about using borax for shampoo and soap. Is it considered safe?

Hi,
Borax is reasonably safe, but it's also reportedly toxic in sufficient quantities (if eaten), so it's not something to be careless with. You can read some introductory data here. Be sure to check out the "From Other Guides" and "Elsewhere on the Web" links on the right side of the page.
It shouldn't cause problems if used externally for short periods of time (don't soak in it...), but you'll want to be sure to keep it out of your eyes and lungs, as it can be irritating.
I'd be interested in hearing anyone's successful or unsuccessful uses of borax, too!

This is a reply to # 32,192I have difficulty using any soaps (soap makes me very ill)...so I did a search today on soapless shampoos etc. & got this site http://www.purebodyproducts.com/
this site claims that you can use borax as a shampoo (diluted of course) followed by a citric acid rinse...I've never heard of this before...
so I did a search on "uses for borax" & found this posting!...
so I haven't experienced using borax in this manner but it's a very interesting use for it...
please note I do not own the above site @ all nor use their products...just searches on both topics lead me here...I thought u might find this interesting...
