It exists in powder form as well as a white powder or colorless crystals, which are soluble in water. It shows antibiotic properties against both bacterial and fungal infections. Boric acid, more specifically orthoboric acid, is a compound of boron, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula BO3H3 or B (OH) 3. It may also be called hydrogen borate or boracic acid. It is usually encountered as colorless crystals or a white powder that dissolves in water and occurs in nature as the mineral sassolite.
