Magnesium Citrate 1 kg

Product specifications and handling

Magnesium Citrate (INCI: Magnesium Citrate) is supplied as a fine powder in 1 kg wholesale packs produced in Germany. The ingredient is the magnesium salt of citric acid and is used as a mineral component in professional formulations. Vitamins wholesale lists this raw material for building stable aqueous systems in large-scale production. The powder offers high purity and supports precise dosing in industrial mixers for consistent batch-to-batch results.

Form and solubility characteristics

The powder shows slow solubility in cold water and good solubility in hot water. Recommended pH range is 5.0-8.0. In B2B production the ingredient is added to the water phase until fully dissolved. Wholesale batches of 1 kg support consistent dosing across multiple manufacturing runs. Proper temperature control during addition ensures uniform distribution and prevents clumping in finished emulsions.

Input percentages by product type

Creams and lotions: 0.5-3%. Face serums: 0.5-2%. Shampoos and conditioners: 0.5-1%. Face or hair masks: 1-2%. Decorative cosmetics: 0.1-1%. The component improves compatibility with water phases and modern actives such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol and betaine. Manufacturers report enhanced moisturizing performance when combined with polyols and amino acids.

Formulation example for a face serum

Water phase: lavender hydrosol 78%, Magnesium Citrate 1.5%, glycerin 4%, betaine 3%. Thickener phase: xanthan gum 0.8%. Active phase: panthenol 2.5%, green tea extract 2%, preservative 1%. Dissolve Magnesium Citrate in the hot water phase, add glycerin and betaine, then incorporate the thickener under constant stirring. After cooling add actives and preservative. The serum supports skin barrier comfort and even tone appearance. The finished product maintains stability when stored between 15-25 °C.

Applications across cosmetics and food raw material supply

Manufacturers of dietary supplements and functional foods purchase the ingredient as raw material for mineral blends. The component provides stability in aqueous solutions and compatibility with other mineral salts. Magnesium Citrate 100 g serves as a convenient size for pilot batches before scaling to 1 kg packs. Vitamins of this type are integrated at the water phase stage for uniform distribution in emulsions and toners. In food processing the powder is added to dry mixes or dissolved in warm water to create homogeneous mineral concentrates.

Storage conditions for wholesale packs

Store in a dry cool place in an airtight container, protect from light. Shelf life until 02.2028. Under proper conditions the powder maintains flowability and solubility throughout the stated period. Regular humidity monitoring in storage areas prevents caking and preserves technological properties of the material.

Integration in hair care and body emulsions

In hair care the ingredient is used at 0.5-1% to improve hair texture and manageability. In body emulsions and cleansing products it supports comfortable sensory properties and formula stability. Wholesale 1 kg packs are suitable for series production of SPA and wellness items. The component is also incorporated into massage gels and relaxation blends where light mineralization is desired without altering fragrance.

Compatibility with additional ingredients

Magnesium Citrate demonstrates excellent compatibility with most water-soluble actives used in contemporary cosmetics. It does not trigger unwanted reactions with plant extracts, hydrosols or proteins, allowing creation of multifunctional formulas without color or odor changes. When combined with marine minerals and magnesium salts the ingredient enhances overall mineral performance while keeping a light texture and fast absorption.

During new recipe development stability tests over 4-6 weeks at varied temperatures are recommended. This confirms that Magnesium Citrate addition does not affect viscosity or pH of the finished product. Such checks are especially important for wholesale batches intended for serial production.
