The heritage mild antiseptic powder, kept to occasional use on intact adult skin.

Borax powder survives on the traditional shelf for household and folk uses: an alkaline mineral salt historically mixed into mouthwashes, cleaning pastes and old remedies. Modern regulation has moved firmly against any medicinal use, boron compounds accumulate in the body, and the old borax-and-honey practice for infant mouths is now condemned outright as toxic, so its honest contemporary role is the laundry, cleaning and craft cupboard, stocked for the traditional customer with the medicinal folklore actively discouraged at the counter.
Traditional households still ask for the box; selling it for household use while steering it away from mouths and babies is the responsible version of stocking it.
