FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Reliable pH Adjustment: Sodium Citrate is an effective pH adjuster, helping fine-tune and maintain the desired pH range of cosmetic and personal care products. Proper pH balance enhances product stability, skin compatibility, and overall performance.
Buffering and Stability: As a buffering agent, Sodium Citrate stabilizes product pH so there are no fluctuations over time. This is especially valuable in formulations exposed to temperature changes or ingredient interactions.
Chelating Support: Sodium Citrate binds trace metal ions that may be present in water or raw materials. By reducing the impact of these ions, it helps protect formulations from instability, discoloration, or performance degradation.
Versatile Functionality: Water soluble and compatible with a wide range of product types, Sodium Citrate works best in creams, lotions, cleansers, shampoos, soaps, and bath products.
DESCRIPTION
Sodium Citrate is a white, crystalline, odorless powder that is extracted from the salt of citric acid. A functional ingredient that dissolves easily, Sodium Citrate improves product stability and performance rather than contributing distinct sensory attributes.
In skin care and hair care products, Sodium Citrate acts as a buffer and stabilizes pH levels and prevents fluctuations due to storage or air exposure. It’s also rich in chelating properties that support formulation balance while helping reduce the effects of hard water. This contributes to product consistency and ingredient compatibility overtime in creams, lotions, liquid soaps, shampoos, and bath products.
With its multifunctional profile and ease of use, Sodium Citrate is a staple functional ingredient for dependable performance across a wide range of personal care applications.
DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE
-
Skin Care Formulations: For creams, lotions, facial cleansers, and body care, add Sodium Citrate at 0.1–1.0%, dissolving it fully in the water phase before combining with other ingredients.
-
Water-Based Cleansers: In shampoos, liquid soaps, and bath products, use 0.1–1.0% Sodium Citrate to help manage pH balance and support consistent performance.
Formulation Tips:
- Add to the water phase and mix until completely dissolved.
- Effective at low use levels, making it easy to fine-tune formulations.
- Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients.
- Commonly used alongside citric acid for precise pH control.
