Sodium Citrate

This sodium salt of citric acid is used as a buffering agent and chelating agent in cosmetic products. It balances the pH of products for stability and skin compatibility. By chelation, Sodium Citrate prevents formulation degradation caused by metal-catalyzed reactions. It improves the action and durability of preservatives by stabilizing formulations. It is, therefore, commonly found in moisturizers, cleansers, and serums. The ingredient is gentle; hence, it works well on sensitive skin and will balance the product to make it healthy and effective for the skin.
