Description
Citric acid is found naturally in citrus fruit such as lemons and limes, and is a weak organic acid commonly used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.
New Health's Citric Acid - Monohydrate is a premium food grade product. It is predominantly used as a flavour enhancer and as a preservative in canned or jarred foods, packaged foods and drinks, and candies and sweets. Citric acid is also used in the kitchen in a variety of ways, such as an acidulant and thickener, and helps prevent fresh produce from turning brown.
Citric acid can also be used around the home daily, such as in personal care or cosmetics and cleaning. Citric acid acts primarily as an exfoliant and an antioxidant and can be used in exfoliating formulations to help remove dead skin cells and dirt to reveal fresh, softer, smoother skin. It increases the shelf life of cosmetic and skin care products by acting as a preservative.
Citric acid is an alternative household disinfectant and detergent product. It can be used to help remove calcified water buildup as well as stains and odours. Since Citric acid kills some types of bacteria and viruses, it can be found in household cleaners, in insect sprays and other products that kill fungus or algae. It can also be used as an environmentally clean up product in assisting with safely removing toxins from polluted soil.
