Product Information
Citric Acid
Citric Acid is a naturally occurring organic acid widely used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as a pH adjuster, buffering agent and chelating agent. It helps maintain the desired acidity of formulations while supporting product stability and performance
Citric Acid is a weak organic acid naturally found in citrus fruits and widely manufactured commercially through fermentation of carbohydrate-based raw materials. It is available mainly in anhydrous and monohydrate forms, both of which are highly soluble in water. PubMed Central (PMC)
In cosmetic formulations, Citric Acid is primarily used to adjust and maintain pH, helping formulations reach the desired acidity for skin, hair and cleansing products. It also functions as a chelating agent by binding trace metal ions that may otherwise affect formulation stability, colour or appearance. SpecialChem
Citric Acid can also provide mild exfoliating properties in appropriately formulated skin-care products and is commonly used in shampoos, conditioners, cleansers, creams, lotions and bath products.
