why does hydrogen peroxide come in brown bottles?

Answer 1

Mostly because it is sensitive to temperature changes and light, and will decompose back to water & oxygen if it is exposed too too high of temperatures or too much light. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, and will readily switch back to H2O and O2, both much more stable molecules.

Answer 2

Hydrogen Peroxide Brown Bottle

Answer 3

Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe or shower.) No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. Also, let your toothbrushes soak in a cup peroxide to keep them free of germs. But remember to use the 3% solution: Not the 35%. Hydrogen peroxide can be harmful if swallowed. Drinking the concentrated solutions sold in some health food stores (35%, or "food grade" hydrogen peroxide) can cause vomiting, severe burns of the throat and stomach, and even death.

Straight Peroxide..No..Noooo....Nooooooo!!! If you accidently swallow any of it, you'll be calling poison control. Peroxide, is a germ fighting agent. And it CAN/WILL eat at your tissue, if used at full strenght. NEVER use full strenght for whitening! BUT, a mixture of Peroxide and water..Yes! Another option to whiten teeth.. baking soda and water. Make it pasty and then brush. BOTH ways can help lighten your teeth. DONT EVER mix the two chemicals... thats never a good idea. Just brush with one.. if you dont like the results after about a months time.. then try the other. Both options work, but they take time. You wont see a change right off the bat. Another option.. come into a office, we'll bleach them for you. OR.. we can give you a bleaching agent to do at home.

An Ice Cube likes it cold so it can stay the way it is.
If it is exposed to heat it returns to what it was, water.
Hydrogen Peroxide likes to be in the dark. That's the only way it can stay the way it is. Light makes it decompose, like return into what it was, into water & oxygen if it is exposed to light.

I assume that it comes that way because people have learned to associate the H2O2 solution with brown bottles (known in the marketing and legal world as "branding" or "trade dress"). Maybe the original manufacturer used brown bottles because that was all that he had at the time, but now everyone does it because the consumer looks for it. If H2O2 solution came in white bottles, then people might overlook it on the shelf because they are not used to seeing it marketed that way.

Like when you walk around with a brown glass bottle, everyone assumes that you have a beer (there actually WAS a reason for beer bottles to be brown -- to keep light from changing the flavor of the beer (before preservatives) -- but now its done because everyone expects it).

Just a theory; I don't really know.

Answer 8

Almost all of the chemicals and pharmaceuticals that you find on the market are kept in that color (or something similar) when they are light or in some way elementally sensitive. Ampules, eye drops, medication... IV ad mixtures Whatever?

That's why it is better to pay a little more and buy the gallons of milk that are solid colored, or in a carton. Vitamin D and other health things in milk are also light sensitive. The clear plastic gallon's ruin them...

Answer 10

It is in brown bottles to keep the light out. Also, it keeps longer if you store it in the fridge.
