vitamin c bath powder

This bath powder neutralizes chlorine and protects skin and hair from chlorinated water exposure. Sodium ascorbate (a form of vitamin C) is the superstar in this bath powder, as it helps neutralize chlorine to avoid its harmful effects on skin and hair. This helps to prevent and relieve possible effects of chlorine exposure such as itching, burning, and dryness.

Chlorine naturally reacts with organic compounds that are already present in water, creating harmful and toxic  disinfection byproducts (DBPs) such as trihalomethanes (THMs). THMs can be even more concentrated when absorbed through the skin, possibly contributing to health risks that can affect the heart, nervous system, and can be linked to cancer.
