CFI Citric Acid Anhydrous is a food grade fruit acid in white crystalline powder form, commonly used in DIY cosmetics and personal care products. It is especially useful where pH adjustment, reduced discolouration, and support for vitamin stability are wanted in a formulation. This is a functional ingredient rather than a preservative, so it is usually used in small, measured amounts as part of a wider formula. It is fully biodegradable and widely used as an organic acid and pH-control agent.
♡ Why we love it: This is one of those quiet formulation essentials that makes a real difference behind the scenes. It is practical, versatile, and especially useful for makers who want more control over the balance and stability of their DIY products.
