I do not look down on the use of Arm & Hammer (or similar brands). In fact, it’s the only baking soda I use for cleaning. It’s okay enough, for me, to use on counter tops and bathtubs and more. I choose, though, to only use naturally mined sodium bicarbonate (like Bob’s or Frontier) when I cook, make my own skincare items (like deodorant or exfoliant), or take it internally when I have the occasional heartburn. This Clears Up the Confusion, Yes? In a nutshell, if you just skimmed all my words and ended up here at the bottom hoping for a quick and easy wrap-up: • Baking soda does not contain aluminum, regardless of whether or not the package says “aluminum-free.” • Arm & Hammer (and other similar brands) use a chemical process that turns trona ore into soda ash and then reacts carbon dioxide with the soda ash to produce baking soda. This is not necessarily bad, per se, but it’s not the same as … • Brands like Bob’s Red Mill and Frontier procure their sodium bicarbonate directly from the ground, in its natural state. — Crunchy Betty
