Sodium Citrate

Sodium Citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid and is a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of personal care and household formulations. In cosmetic products, it is commonly used as a buffering agent to help maintain and stabilise pH, contributing to the overall performance and stability of formulations such as creams, lotions, cleansers, and bath products.

In DIY household products, Sodium Citrate is particularly valued as a water softener for laundry powders and cleaning formulations. It helps bind calcium and magnesium minerals found in hard water, allowing soaps and detergents to work more effectively while reducing mineral build-up on fabrics and washing machines.
