Citric Acid – 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg

A natural citrus acid for fizzing baths and cosmetic formulas
Citric acid is a versatile ingredient that we know from fruit, especially lemons and oranges. In natural cosmetics it is indispensable for making bath bombs, bath salts and products where pH adjustment is needed.

Key benefits

• Useful in natural cosmetics for adjusting pH

• An ingredient for bath bombs with a fizzing effect

• An excellent choice for bath salts and scrubs

• Suitable for making lotions, creams and ointments

• Also useful in cooking and cleaning

• The crystal form makes it easy to dose and use

Use

Citric acid is used for:

• making bath bombs (in combination with baking soda)

• making bath salts, for an extra fizzing and cleansing effect

• adjusting acidity in creams, ointments, serums and lotions (up to 0.1%)

• preparing fizzing body and foot scrubs at home

• limescale cleaners and room fresheners (in combination with essential oils)

At concentrations between 0.02 and 0.1% it adjusts the pH in cosmetic products, and in bath bombs up to 20%. We use it in the final, cooled phase of the product.

Citric acid (C6H8O7) is a naturally occurring component of citrus fruits, obtained by biofermentation. As a powder it is white and crystalline, soluble in water, with a pleasantly sour taste. In natural cosmetics we value it as a pH regulator and an ingredient for fizzing effects, as in combination with bicarbonate of soda it forms bubbles of carbon dioxide, which provide a gentle fizz and relaxation in the water.

We also use it as an antioxidant in ointments and serums, as it inhibits the oxidation of oils. In baths it acts as a mild exfoliant and softens hard skin. Thanks to its purity it is also suitable for food and household purposes – for example for cleaning appliances or removing limescale.

• Store in a dry place, protected from moisture

• Do not inhale the powder; use in moderate amounts

• For external cosmetic use only
