My shower gel says it contains "Stimulating Mg-O2". I wonder how that differs from normal MgO2? I wasn't aware magnesium peroxide came in a special stimulating variety.
Apparently it gives off oxygen when in contact with water, which is nice. That sounds rather like the Cif kitchen cleaner I have, which boasts "Active Oxygen" for enhanced cleaning. 'Active' oxygen? I'm worried now that I've spent the last three decades breathing the inert oxygen instead by accident - how can you tell one from the other?! they look so similar!! - and this'll suddenly catch up with me resulting in abrupt asphyxiation.
EDIT - Superscript changed to subscript after doctoral chastisement!
