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.
