Boost, balance and stabilise your products with sodium citrate. This white crystalline powder is the salt of citric acid - widely used in foods, cosmetics, cleaning, and healthcare. In food it provides a tart flavour while buffering and stabilising pH. Sodium citrate also functions as an acidity regulator and emulsifying salt in processed cheese - giving that smooth, aesthetically pleasing melt. It’s the cornerstone of rehydration solutions with glucose and salts, and even to raise the pH of urine, bringing comfort for those struggling with acidity.
♡ Why we love it: Sodium citrate plays a major role in DIY. In cosmetics it acts as a buffer in creams, lotions, and gels, and when paired with citric acid in bath bombs it adds extra fizz. Its balancing effect and skin mildness support the skin-friendliness of products, while enhancing preservation and protecting actives by holding them in a safe pH range. It also works as a chelator - binding calcium and magnesium ions to prevent discolouration and rancidity, and softening water. That same chelating action makes it a star in cleaning products, boosting detergents and helping remove scale from pipes, boilers, appliances, and any water-contact equipment.

Thanks Essentially Natural
I am so greatfull for the swift delivery of this absolutely essential product in my small business. I use to make it myself and was struggling to get a pure crystallized substance, very time consuming! Now I only order it and it works fantastically, saving me lots of money and time.
From browsing, to ordering and paying were all seamless and received a quality product with-in 24 hours. Outstanding service will be using in future and highly recommended.
Great super affordable, however I do need to use twice as much as other gastronomic products. However being waaaaaaay more affordable still saves me big time.
My aunt holds the family trophy for best mac and cheese, and, omg, it is delicious. However! Any roux based cheese sauce is inherently flawed, the texture will always be a little grainy, the flavour always a little bit off. The mac and cheese I make with sodium citrate is velvetty smooth, with the deep, complex three dimensional flavours of the aged cheddars I prefer. I cannot wait to see my aunts face when she finally tastes my mac and cheese and has to hand over the macaroni crown to my sinfully smooth cheese sauce.
