INCI: Acidum citricum

Citric acid (anhydrous) is a natural occurring fruit acid that can be used in DIY cosmetics and personal care products to delay discolouration and to retain vitamin content. Citric acid anhydrous is in powder form which makes bath bombs and fizz balls easier to create than using the monohydrate.

Beautifying Rose Milk Bath Bombs

1 c baking soda

½ c citric acid

½ c cornstarch or arrowroot powder

¼ c powdered milk

3 T Epsom salt

dried rose petals

1 tsp water or rose floral water

3 -4 tsp almond oil

15 - 20 drops rose oil

Whisk the dry ingredients and the rose petals together in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients together, then slowly add the liquid to the dry ingredients, whisking as you go. If the mixture holds its shape when squeezed together it is ready, otherwise if not, use a spray bottle of water to spray once or twice to moisten the mixture. Don't spray too much or it will fizz. Press the mixture into molds and leave to dry overnight. View more of our bath bomb recipes on our blog.

Citric Acid Review

Ok so i know its just citric acid, but this review is not just about the product its about the exceptional service Essentially Natural provides as well. Not only are they super friendly, helpful and generous by always giving you a little gift when you purchase from them, but they are extremely on top of things. i can place an order at 16:50pm and within minutes i get a response that they have not only recieved my order , but its ready to collect pretty much immediatly. As someone who values their time, this really means a lot that they are so quick to have my order ready. The products i order from them are always top quality, to which i am quite fussy about as i believe in quality over quantity. The products are always well packaged and presented with love.
you may think this is a paid review by how good i am speaking about them, but i can assure it is definitley not. I just apreciate the great service and products they sell and i believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Well done to the entire team ! You guys are much appreciated !
Keep up the amazing service !
