Sodium persulfate, also called sodium persulfate according to INCI, is the sodium salt of peroxodisch sulfuric acid and is used as bleaching agent in cosmetic products, among others.

Note(s)

The highly corrosive sodium persulfate must not be stored in tightly closed containers, as the salt and its solutions tend to disintegrate with the formation of oxygen.

Sodium persulfate contains oxygen in the unstable oxidation state -1 and therefore acts as a strong oxidizing agent. It also acts as a bleaching agent and is used in hair cosmetics as a hair bleaching agent.
