Citric Acid 200 g

One crystalline powder that connects kitchen shelves, cleaning cabinets and cosmetic labs

This crystalline acid with a sharp sour taste has long outgrown its role as a simple food additive and turned into a versatile reagent used across dozens of industries, from fruit preservation to household cleaning formulas and skincare production. The product belongs to the category Acids, Salts, Alcohols, and Alkalis, which brings together core reagents for pH adjustment, preservation and formula stabilization across multiple manufacturing sectors.

The largest global demand for this ingredient comes from the food industry, where it is used to acidify jams, compotes, marinades, soft drinks and confectionery fillings. Typical dosage ranges from one to five grams per liter of liquid, and the powder is added at the final cooking stage once the mixture has cooled below seventy degrees Celsius, preserving the product structure. A 200 gram pack is a practical choice for home kitchens, small bakeries and trial batches of beverages where formula precision matters more than buying a large bulk bag.

The second major area of use is household cleaning. The powder dissolves limescale in kettles, washing machines and dishwashers effectively, and combined with baking soda it creates the classic fizzing reaction used for pipe cleaning and homemade cleaning tablets. For such recipes many formulators reach for Sodium Bicarbonate 500 g, mixing it with the acid in roughly equal weight parts to get a stable fizzing reaction.

In cosmetic manufacturing this ingredient acts as a pH adjuster in finished creams, shampoos and toners, and is also used as a mild chemical exfoliant in facial and body peels at a concentration of 0.1 to 1 percent of the total formula weight. It is typically added at the final stage once the base emulsion has cooled to 35-40 degrees Celsius to protect sensitive active ingredients. For brightening serums targeting uneven skin tone, formulators often pair it with Kojic Acid 5 g, achieving a stronger effect on pigmentation.

Another popular application is bath bombs and fizzing tablets, where the acid is blended with baking soda and a binder. To slow down premature fizzing during molding, formulators add Corn Starch 50 g, which absorbs excess moisture and improves the texture for pressing. Store the powder in a dry, tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture sources to preserve its activity over a long period without clumping.

The 200 gram size fits home experimentation, recipe testing and small trial production runs where cost efficiency matters without sacrificing control over quality.
