What Is Citric Acid?

Citric acid is a weak organic acid with the chemical formula C₆H₈O₇. It is naturally found in citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits — hence the name "citric" acid. This natural origin is what makes it such a trusted and widely accepted ingredient across food, cosmetic, and industrial applications worldwide.

Uses of Citric Acid

• Food & beverages: Add tartness and brightness to juices, soft drinks, jams, jellies, sweets, and baked goods. A natural flavor enhancer and pH regulator.
• Food preservation: Acts as a natural preservative by lowering pH, inhibiting bacterial growth, and extending shelf life in canned goods, sauces, and pickles.
• Bath bombs & cosmetics: The key ingredient in fizzing bath bombs when combined with baking soda. Also used in skincare formulations as a pH adjuster and exfoliant.
• Cleaning & descaling: Highly effective at removing limescale, rust stains, and mineral deposits from kettles, coffee machines, taps, and bathroom surfaces — without harsh chemicals.
• Cheese making: Used in mozzarella and ricotta production to acidify milk quickly and achieve the right texture.
• Brewing & winemaking: Adjusts acidity in home brewing and winemaking for balanced, consistent results.
• Pharmaceutical & industrial: Used as a buffering agent, antioxidant, and chelating agent in various formulations.

Usage Tips

Start with small quantities and adjust to taste or desired pH level. When using in cleaning applications, dissolve in warm water for faster action. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container — citric acid is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air if left open.

Storage Instructions

Keep in a sealed, airtight container away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Properly stored, anhydrous citric acid has a shelf life of 3–5 years. Always use a dry scoop or spoon to prevent clumping.
