Overview of Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous is a high-purity, water-soluble organic acid commonly used in food, personal care, cosmetic, and cleaning products. Unlike citric acid monohydrate, it is free from bound water, making it ideal for powdered formulations and precise pH control.
In personal care, Citric Acid Anhydrous is used to adjust pH, stabilise formulations, and enhance product performance in shampoos, conditioners, soaps, lotions, and bath products. Its chelating properties also help in improving the stability of preservatives and active ingredients.
