⚠️ Quick Safety Notes
-
Don’t overuse on skin or teeth—gentle ≠ daily
-
Avoid inhaling large amounts of powder
-
Not for internal “detox” or drinking remedies (that’s a myth)
If you want, I can make a beauty-only version, a cleaning-only cheat sheet, or even a “things you should NEVER use baking soda for” list (some trends are actually harmful 👀).
