Citric Acid 2.5kg
INCI NAME: Citric Acid
Citric Acid is a naturally occurring ingredient found in citrus fruits, widely used in cosmetic, skincare, and personal care formulations. This fine crystalline powder is commonly used to adjust and balance pH levels in products such as toners, bath bombs, and skincare formulations. It can also act as a mild preservative and helps enhance the stability and performance of cosmetic products. Known for its versatility, citric acid is an essential ingredient in many DIY formulations, bath products, and cosmetic manufacturing processes requiring precise pH control.

How to Use
How to Use Citric Acid:
Usage Rate: Typically 0.1%–0.5% for pH adjustment; higher levels may be used in bath bombs.
Formulation Phase: Dissolve in the water phase before combining with oils or other ingredients.
Applications: Effective in toners, cleansers, astringents, bath bombs, and other water-based skincare or bath products.
Function: Primarily used to adjust pH and stabilize formulations; also contributes to effervescence in bath bombs.
Compatibility: Must be combined with a suitable preservative system when used in water-based products, as Citric Acid alone is not a broad-spectrum preservative.
Mixture Instructions
Dissolve citric acid in distilled water first to create a 10–50% solution, mixing at room temperature or slightly warm conditions until fully dissolved. Add the solution slowly to your formulation during the cool-down phase (below 40°C), stirring well and checking pH frequently until the desired level is reached. Typical usage is 0.1%–2% for pH adjustment, though higher amounts may be used in products like bath bombs. Always perform small batch testing to ensure stability and consistency.
