Triethyl Citrate
Explained
Triethyl Citrate comes from citric acid. It has masking, perfuming, and solvent properties. As a solvent, this ingredient helps disperse ingredients evenly in skincare.
One manufacturer claims this ingredient can:
- Improve the performance of ingredients like azelaic acid and salicylic acid.
- Help with oil-control and is a good option for acne-prone skin.
- Reduce odor-causing sweat components as a deodorant.
According to perfume manufacturers, this ingredient is almost odorless but has a mild fruity, wine and plum scent. It can be used to mask the scent of other ingredients.
This ingredient can be plant-sourced or synthetic; it can naturally be found in cabbage and white wine.
