It is one of the most essential functional ingredients in modern cosmetic formulation.


Product Identity

INCI Name: Citric Acid
Chemical Type: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA)
Source: Typically derived from fermentation of sugars
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Solubility: Highly water-soluble


Functional Benefits in Formulation

pH Adjustment: Primary use — lowers pH in creams, gels, shampoos, and cleansers.
Improves Product Stability: Helps optimize preservative performance by maintaining proper pH range.
Chelating Support: Assists in binding trace metal ions (secondary function).
Mild Exfoliation (at higher levels): Acts as a gentle AHA in specific formulations.

Usage Guidelines

For pH adjustment:
Typically used as a 10–20% aqueous solution, added gradually until desired pH is reached.

For exfoliating systems:
Usage depends on total AHA percentage and final product pH — requires proper formulation knowledge.

Never add dry powder directly into finished emulsions without dissolving.


Safety Information

  • Avoid inhalation of powder

  • Can cause irritation at high concentrations

  • Always measure final product pH (do not guess)
