#Citric Acid - Anhydrous USP/FCC INCI: Citric Acid
is a #natural #preservative and #PH balancer derived from the sugars found in the juices of #limes and #lemons. Citric Acid is an excellent #anti-oxidant, #exfoliant, and can be used as part of a preservative system by altering PH levels. Citric acid is also the most widely used #organic acidulate because it is classified as a weak acid.

Natural Exfoliator: As a member of the AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) family, Citric Acid supports skin exfoliation, helping to reveal a fresh and firmer complexion by removing dead skin cells.

Antioxidant Activity: Citric Acid is believed to be rich in antioxidants, making it a valuable ingredient for protecting the skin from environmental stressors.

pH Adjuster and Formula Enhancer: It is widely used in formulations to adjust and stabilize pH levels, ensuring that products maintain optimal performance and are safe for skin and hair.

Product Stabilizer: Citric Acid enhances the stability and shelf-life of formulations, making it an essential ingredient for product longevity.

In shampoos it acts as a chelating agent, binding to chlorine and iron (in hard water) and removing them from hair. When applied to hair, citric acid opens up the cuticle. While the cuticle is open, it allows for deeper penetration of the cleaning agents, and thus is a healthy replacement for propylene glycol. It is generally not recommended if you have any artificial hair colouring done unless you are trying to strip the colour out.

I use it in my shampoos to adjust PH and tub truffles to create fizz.
