Citric Acid
Citric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and oranges, where it has been part of the human diet and natural preservation methods for thousands of years. Historically, citrus fruits were valued by ancient cultures for their flavor and versatility, while citric acid was later identified and refined for use in food, household, and personal care products. Today, naturally derived citric acid is widely used in all-natural soaps, bath products, cosmetics, and household cleaners, where it helps adjust pH, improve formulation stability, and enhance product performance.
