Agent effervescent, acidifiant, correcteur de Ph

Citric acid is a natural, biodegradable ingredient found in large quantities in lemons, where it is responsible for over 95% of their acidity. In cosmetics, it is prized for its acidifying, cleansing and antioxidant properties. It helps adjust the pH of cosmetic preparations, making products more effective while respecting the skin's balance. In addition to its skin-care benefits, citric acid is also used in DIY household products to descale, clean and neutralize odors. Thanks to its ability to eliminate impurities, it is an effective ally for natural cleansers, descalers and homemade deodorizers.
