No, baking soda and borax power are completely different products. Borax is sodium borate, while baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Baking soda is added to baked foods as a leavening agent. Borax is added to certain foods in some countries as a preservative and to add a chewy texture, but its use is banned in the United States as a health risk. Borax is considered carcinogenic.
