Description
Anhydrous Citric Acid of exceptional quality, with a fine particle size specifically suited to natural cosmetics.
With 10% greater performance than conventional citric acid (monohydrate), less product is needed to adjust the pH of your cosmetics, increase preservative effectiveness or fulfil any other cosmetic application, without adding anything else.
Citric Acid Monohydrate (also available here) is better for bath bombs and similar products because it offers even better value for money, although we strongly recommend the anhydrous version for cosmetic formulations.
It is an organic acid present in most fruits, particularly citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits.
It has preservative properties in cosmetics.
It is a white or almost white crystalline material, supplied as efflorescent crystals or granules. It is odourless.
Very soluble in water and readily soluble in 96% ethanol.
It is one of the longest-used ingredients.
Properties and Uses of Anhydrous Citric Acid
Recommended for acne-prone, combination and oily skin.
Inhibits the enzymatic breakdown of sweat, preventing unpleasant odours and making it ideal for deodorants and deodorising cleansing gels.
For deodorant use, the finished product must have a PH between 4-5 for it to work.
Increases the effectiveness of preservatives used in products and acts synergistically to enhance antioxidant performance.
Applied directly to the skin, it acts as an AHA and produces an exfoliating effect that helps improve wrinkles and stretch marks.
It also improves skin cleansing, making it ideal for acne because it unblocks pores and helps tighten enlarged pores.
A disinfectant for the feet or mouth.
Regulates PH through its acidifying action.
Anti-dark-spot and depigmenting.
It can be used to make gels, creams, lotions and deodorants...
To incorporate it, heat it in the oil phase or add it to the finished product.
Recommended Dosage
Between 1-5%.
