Citric acid is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and limes. It's also produced through fermentation of various sugars. This white crystalline substance has a sour taste and is commonly used as a natural preservative, flavour enhancer, and in a wide range of food, beverages, and household products. 

Ingredient: Citric Acid pharmaceutical grade
Chemical Formula: C₆H₈O₇
pH level: Approx. 3.5

The Cleaning Vinegar Alternative
An efficient and budget-friendly alternative to cleaning vinegar. While cleaning vinegar is a staple for eco-conscious cleaning, citric acid offers similar acidity, making it a potent degreaser, descaler, and stain remover. It's often more affordable and doesn't have the potent vinegar scent.

Remarkable Cleaning Abilities
Its chelating properties mean it excels in breaking down mineral deposits, limescale, and stubborn stains. From coffee makers to faucets and showerheads, citric acid dissolves build-up with ease, restoring shine and function without the overpowering vinegar odour.

Effervescent Magic
Ever marvelled at the fizzing wonder of bath bombs? Citric acid is the secret behind that delightful effervescence. Adding it to your DIY beauty and bath creations not only enhances the fizz but also contributes to a refreshing, invigorating experience.

Cost-Effective 
Compared to store-bought cleaning products and specialised descaling solutions, citric acid's cost effectiveness shines. A small amount goes a long way, providing savings without compromising on results.

Eco-Friendly Choice
Compared to certain synthetic chemicals, it is considered more environmentally friendly, aligning with your commitment to greener living.
