peroxide
Blonde-making chemical
Peroxide is hydrogen peroxide, a common antiseptic used to clean wounds—it fizzes on contact with blood.
In chemistry, peroxides are compounds containing oxygen-oxygen bonds.
As a verb, to peroxide is to bleach with hydrogen peroxide, especially hair: She peroxided her hair platinum blonde.
A peroxide blonde has chemically lightened hair.
