This is my last hope, I've been searching for literally hours and can't find the answer. I need it for part of my science project.

Bleaching, the whitening and brightening of laundry, is commonly achieved by the use of oxygen-based bleaching agents, delivering so-called active or available oxygen (Avox).

Sodium perborate is the fundamental source of Avox in many detergent formulations, at lower wash temperatures in combination with an activator.

12% of B2O3 is consumed in detergents and bleaches; ( US ) the percentage is even higher in Europe.

Sodium perborates [NaBO3·1H2O or 4H2O; PBS1 or PBS4] are true persalts that traditionally have been blended into powdered detergents in Europe as bleaching agents.

Any certain laundry soap or just the brand Borax? It would be near impossible to do anything because they are multiple compounds in every laundry soap, unless you know the percent of each compound within the soap.
