Frequently Asked Questions

What does "20 Vols" mean?

• This refers to the volume of oxygen gas released; one millilitre of this 6% solution generates twenty millilitres of oxygen when decomposed.

Can I use this on my hair?

• Yes, low concentrations (3–6%) are frequently used as a component in hair dyes and bleaching, though it is recommended to use a specific cosmetic formulation for hair care.

Is it safe to use on food surfaces?

• Yes, it breaks down into simple water and oxygen. However, surfaces that come into direct contact with food (like cutting boards) should be rinsed with plain water after use.

Inish Pharmacy Expert Tip

"Hydrogen peroxide is a classic pharmacy 'staple' because of its oxidation process—you’ll often see it fizzing on a wound, which is the oxygen being released to kill bacteria. If you are using it as a mouthwash for a sore gum, ensure you follow the 1-to-5 dilution rule strictly; using it at full strength in the mouth can cause temporary swelling of the tongue or 'hairy tongue' effect."
