Citric Acid is a naturally occurring organic acid commonly found in citrus fruits and widely used across a range of industries. With its mild acidity and excellent chelating properties, citric acid serves as a versatile additive in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products. As a food-grade additive, it enhances flavor, preserves freshness, and balances pH levels. In personal care and cleaning products, citric acid acts as a gentle exfoliant and an effective limescale remover.
Due to its biodegradability and safety profile, citric acid is also popular in eco-friendly formulations, providing environmentally responsible alternatives to harsher acids and chemicals. Its high solubility and compatibility with other ingredients make it a valuable addition across applications, from household products to industrial cleaning solutions.
