INGREDIENTS & QUALITY ASSURANCE
Citric acid (Acidum citricum) monohydrate, GMO-free.
Our citric acid is produced through fermentation using Aspergillus niger (black mould), a widely adopted and efficient method in the industry. We understand that the use of Aspergillus niger might raise concerns about mycotoxins, but rest assured that citric acid undergoes a rigorous purification process. This ensures the final product is completely free from mould, mycotoxins, heavy metals, or other unwanted contaminants.
The high level of purification is why regulatory authorities like the FDA and EFSA classify fermentation-derived citric acid as safe for use in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It also meets stringent food-grade certification standards, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.
The fermentation process typically uses renewable plant-based by-products, such as molasses or corn-derived sugars, as substrates. By utilising these renewable resources instead of petroleum-derived materials, the production method supports more environmentally conscious and sustainable manufacturing practices.
We work exclusively with trusted suppliers who adhere to the highest industry standards. Choose our citric acid with confidence for your DIY formulations, knowing it is safe, of the highest quality, and backed by documentation verifying its purity and safety.

Allergic reactions: In very rare instances some individuals may experience allergic reactions to citric acid, including skin irritation, hives, or respiratory symptoms. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare provider.
Aggravation of pre-existing conditions: Citric acid may aggravate conditions such as sensitive skin or certain respiratory issues.
Hair products: Dont add too much citric acid to hair products like shampoos, as it can change (lighten) your hair color.
