Sodium Citrate

Low risk

FunctionBuffer

What it is — Sodium Citrate (INCI: Sodium Citrate) is a pH-adjusting ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used as a pH buffer and mild chelating agent.

Typical use — It is used in very small amounts to bring a formula to its target pH so the product is stable and skin-comfortable. Getting pH right keeps a product both stable and comfortable to wear.

Who it suits / good to know — Used at trace, neutralized levels as part of the base. It is a processing aid rather than an active. There is nothing to react to at the trace levels used here.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: gentle pH adjuster. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — gentle pH adjuster.
