Learn more about Citric AcidSodium Citrate is the sodium salts of citric acid. In skincare, it is used to alter pH levels and acts as a preservative.
Its main functions are to maintain the pH of a product and neutralize metal ions.

Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.

Pros: Works amazingly. My skin is so dry I’d scratch myself by accident and my arms would be covered with white scratch marks. Currently using a mist spray and even that’s effective. 500mL would last weeks, I’m sure. An absolute fave! So much that I keep a handy Show more
5/5 great toner overall
