Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate (Sodium citrate) is a naturally derived cosmetic raw material produced by fermentation of natural sugars followed by neutralization of citric acid. It is used as a buffering agent and chelating agent that helps maintain pH stability and extend the shelf life of cosmetic products. Thanks to its high safety and skin-friendliness, it is also suitable for sensitive skin and has wide applications in natural and vegan cosmetics. Its main role is to stabilize emulsions, improve the efficacy of preservation systems and protect active ingredients against degradation caused by metal ions or pH changes. In cosmetic formulations it is used in the form of a white crystalline powder that dissolves easily in water and is incorporated into the aqueous phase. Key benefits Stabilizes pH and maintains optimal conditions in the formulation Extends the shelf life of cosmetic preparations Increases the efficacy of preservatives and supports protection against microbial contamination Binds metal ions and thus protects active ingredients against degradation Vegan and eco-friendly , suitable for natural cosmetics Suitable for products such as Face and body creams Shampoos and shower gels Facial cleansing products Bath cosmetics Body milks and emulsions Use in formulation Solubility: very good in water Recommended dosage in cosmetics: 0.1 – 1 % depending on the product type Processing phase: aqueous phase Sodium citrate is a universal and gentle raw material that stabilizes pH, increases the efficacy of preservatives and protects cosmetic products against degradation, thereby improvin
