Hydrogen Peroxide Foams on Skin

On the principle of hydrogen peroxide foaming on the skin
Hydrogen peroxide, when it encounters the skin, foams up.

There are many biological enzymes that cover the skin. Enzymes, catalysts of living things, can change the rate of chemical reactions, and they are not consumed before and after the reaction. Among them is an enzyme called catalase. Hydrogen peroxide meets this enzyme, just like dry wood meets fire, and reacts to life.

Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2 $) is decomposed into water ($H_2O $) and oxygen ($O_2 $) under the action of catalase. The chemical reaction formula is as follows: $2H_2O_2\ stackrel {catalase }{=\!=\! =} 2H_2O + O_2 ↑ $.

When oxygen is generated, foam is seen on the surface of the skin. This foam, that is, when oxygen escapes, is formed by wrapping the surrounding liquid and other substances. When viewed as boiling, it is actually the appearance of a chemical reaction.

From this, it can be seen that hydrogen peroxide foams on the skin for no reason, but is caused by enzymatic reactions. If the world understands this, it will be helpful to use hydrogen peroxide-containing substances or to observe the reaction of the skin.
