This high-purity citric acid is a versatile organic acid manufactured through a sustainable, energy- and water-efficient fermentation process. By converting sugar industry waste into a functional cosmetic ingredient, this grade supports a true circular economy, offering a significantly lower environmental footprint than conventional synthetic or resource-heavy production routes.
Performance & Multifunctional Benefits
- pH Regulation & Stabilization: Acts as a primary acidulant to lower and stabilize the pH of formulations to skin-compatible levels (typically pH 4.0–5.5).
- Preservation Enhancement (Chelation): Functions as a natural chelator, sequestering trace metal ions that microbes need to survive, thereby boosting the efficacy of the overall preservation system.
- Oxidative Protection: Classified as a mild antioxidant, it helps shield the formulation from oxidative degradation, preserving the integrity of oils and active ingredients.
- Exfoliation: At specific concentrations and pH levels, it acts as an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) to promote gentle skin renewal.
Formulation & Handling Guidelines
This grade is designed for maximum manufacturing flexibility across various product types, ie granular format of different sizes
