Tri sodium citrate

(0 review)

Trisodium Citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid, appearing as a white, water-soluble crystalline powder. It primarily functions as a pH buffer, chelating agent, and stabiliser in cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, and food formulations.

In cosmetic applications, it helps maintain optimal pH, improve formulation stability, enhance preservative efficiency, and prevent discoloration caused by trace metals. Due to its mild and skin-friendly nature, it is widely used in cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, creams, lotions, toners, and bath products, making it suitable for natural, sulfate-free, and sensitive-skin formulations.
