Cfi Malic Acid - Food Grade 1KG

Features

Description

Malic Acid is a food-grade DL-malic acid used to add clean, lasting tartness to food and beverage formulations and as a versatile acidifier in cosmetic products. DL-Malic Acid contains both D- and L-malic acid and is widely used as an acidulant where a pleasantly sour, fruit-like taste and acidity are wanted, including beverages, confectionery and other suitable food applications.

In cosmetics, this water-soluble alpha hydroxy acid can be used in lower-pH skincare and haircare formulations for pH adjustment, humectant properties and gentle exfoliating support. Why we love it: We choose to offer DL-Malic Acid because it is a genuinely versatile ingredient for both food and cosmetic makers.

Its smooth, persistent tartness makes it particularly useful in flavour applications, while its water solubility and AHA properties give formulators another practical option for pH-controlled skincare and haircare. Key Properties Type: DL-Malic Acid Composition: Racemic mixture of D-malic acid and L-malic acid Grade: Food Grade Form: Powder Solubility: Water soluble Function In Food: Acidulant and flavour-balancing ingredient Function In Cosmetics: Alpha hydroxy acid, humectant and pH-adjusting ingredient Typical Cosmetic Usage Rate: 1-3% in the aqueous phase Ingredient: DL-Malic Acid Suitable For: Food, beverage and cosmetic applications Storage: Keep well sealed and store away from moisture, sunlight and heat What It's Used For Adding tart, fruit-like acidity to suitable foods and beverages Balancing sweetness and acidity in flavour formulations Confectionery and other sour or fruit-forward food applications Beverage and drink formulations requiring an acidulant Water-phase skincare formulations Shampoos, lotions and serums Lower-pH cosmetic products using alpha hydroxy acids Cosmetic formulas requiring a water-soluble acid for pH adjustment Formulations where humectant and gentle exfoliating properties are useful Who It's For This Product Is For: Food and beverage makers working with food-grade acidulants Recipes and formulations that need a clean, tart flavour profile Formulators working with alpha hydroxy acids in water-based cosmetics DIY makers creating carefully pH-controlled skincare or haircare Projects requiring a water-soluble acid with both food and cosmetic applications This Product Is Not For: Anyone specifically requiring pure L-malic acid rather than DL-malic acid Direct neat application to the skin Oil-only formulations where the acid cannot dissolve Finished skincare use without formulation How To Use As a Food Acidulant: Add according to the requirements of the recipe or food formulation to introduce tartness, balance sweetness or adjust acidity.

In Beverages: Dissolve thoroughly into the water-based portion of the drink formulation and adjust according to the desired flavour and acidity. In Confectionery and Food Formulations: Use where a persistent, fruit-like sourness or acid balance is wanted. As a Cosmetic Ingredient: Add at approximately 1-3% in the aqueous phase of a suitable formulation.

As a Cosmetic Acidifier: Use where a water-soluble acid is required to help adjust the finished product pH. Processing Tip: Malic Acid dissolves in water, making it straightforward to incorporate into aqueous food and cosmetic systems. Cosmetic Formulation Tip: Measure the final pH after addition rather than relying on usage percentage alone.

Cosmetic Use Tip: Appropriate sun-care habits are recommended when using exfoliating AHA products during the daytime.
