Cfi Sodium Citrate - Food Grade 1KG

CFI Sodium Citrate - Food Grade is a white crystalline powder made from trisodium citrate, the salt of citric acid. It is used in food, cosmetics, cleaning products, and bath formulations where buffering, pH balance, and stabilisation are needed. This is a functional ingredient rather than a finished product, and it is especially useful in creams, lotions, gels, bath bombs, and water-based cleaning blends.

Its chelating action also makes it helpful where mineral-heavy water can affect formula performance. Why we love it: Sodium citrate is one of those behind-the-scenes ingredients that makes a real difference to how a product behaves. It helps keep formulas more balanced, more stable, and easier to work with, which makes it a very useful addition to a DIY ingredient shelf.
