Product Info:
Citric Acid is a naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from citrus fruits. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations as a pH adjuster, exfoliant, and chelating agent. In skincare, it helps to gently exfoliate, brighten the skin, and improve cell turnover, making it ideal for peels, cleansers, toners, and anti-aging treatments. In bath products like bath bombs and fizzing powders, Citric Acid reacts with baking soda to create an effervescent effect.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Best dissolved in water before incorporating into formulations.
- Works well in acidic formulations but should be used cautiously to maintain skin-friendly pH levels.
- Avoid excessive heat to preserve potency.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent clumping.
