Comparing E925 - Chlorine vs E928 - Benzole peroxide

Overview

E925 - Chlorine

Chlorine (E925) is a yellow‑green gas used in very small amounts in food processing water to control germs. It helps wash and sanitize fruits, vegetables, and equipment, and typically does not remain in the finished food at meaningful levels. In most cases it is considered a processing aid and is not listed on ingredient labels.

E928 - Benzole peroxide

Benzole peroxide (also known as benzoyl peroxide) is a flour treatment agent used mainly to bleach and standardize the color of wheat flour and certain dairy ingredients. In food processing it breaks down as it works, leaving little to no active residue in the finished product under approved uses.

  1. How does benzole peroxide reduce acne?

    As a topical drug, benzoyl peroxide reduces acne by releasing oxygen that kills acne-causing bacteria and helps keep pores from clogging; as a food additive (E928) it’s used to bleach flour, not to treat acne.

  2. How does benzole peroxide work?

    In foods, benzoyl peroxide (E928) is a strong oxidizing flour-bleaching/maturing agent that whitens flour pigments and then breaks down mainly to benzoic acid and oxygen.

  3. How to prevent bleached eyebrows benzole peroxide?

    Because it’s a bleaching oxidizer, keep products away from hair/eyebrows, apply carefully, use a barrier (e.g., petroleum jelly) along the hairline, and rinse hands and any residue off promptly.

  4. How to use benzole peroxide?

    In food processing, small regulated amounts are uniformly blended into flour to bleach and mature it; for topical acne products, follow the label and start with lower strengths due to irritation and bleaching risk.

  5. What store sells benzole peroxide shampoo?

    Benzoyl peroxide is uncommon in human shampoos (it can bleach hair) and is mainly sold as acne washes at pharmacies or online; as E928 it’s an industrial flour-bleaching aid, not a consumer shampoo.
