DESCRIPTION
CITRIC ACID

Citric acid is a tricarboxylic organic acid found in most fruits, especially citrus fruits such as lemon and orange. Its molecular formula is C6H8O7.

It is a good natural preservative and antioxidant, added industrially as an additive in many packaged foods.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Variable, depends on the application.
How to use and incorporate: Prepare a 10–50 % solution in water and add drop by drop to lower the pH, measuring with a pH meter.
Formulation tips:
  • Final pH determines the performance and tolerance of the product; always measure with a calibrated pH meter.
  • In leave-on products with alpha-hydroxy acids, include a sunscreen use recommendation on the label.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: May be incompatible with unneutralized carbomers, some preservatives and actives sensitive to acidic pH.
Storage: Keep in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: No special precautions; avoid prolonged direct skin contact.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
