Effervescence is a classic method with which to achieve tablet and granule disintegration, foaming, and product sizzle. Sodium bicarbonate provides reliable carbon dioxide release, adding excitement and function to Bath Salts and Tablets and Self-Foaming products. In addition, sodium bicarbonate helps impart a soft feeling to the skin, and is able to neutralize acidic irritants, making it a useful ingredient in topical skin soothing products.
