INCI: Citric Acid Description: Our Citric Acid is naturally derived from the sugars found in the juices of Limes and Lemons. Citric Acid is an excellent anti-oxidant, exfoliante, and can be used as part of a preservative system by altering PH levels. Citric acid is also the most widely used organic acidulate, probably because it is classified as a weak acid.
When applied to hair, citric acid opens up the cuticle. While the cuticle is open, it allows for deeper penetration of the cleaning agents. It is generally not recommended if you have any artificial hair coloring done, unless you are trying to strip the color out. It can be used in shampoo.
Please Note: As with any manufacturing process, New Directions Aromatics encourages small, lab scale manufacturing for evaluation purposes prior to full commercial manufacturing.

I just made my first ever bath bombs with the citric acid I purchased in my last order, and they were SO fizzy! You can't beat the price or the quality of ND products. Thank you all so much!

All citric acid works well, but I really like the consistancy of New Directions citric acid. Its not to powdery/clumply or to thick. Its a great price too.

My first bath bombs turned out AWESOME! Thanks New Directions, for consistently providing me with high quality ingredients for all of my concoctions. Neroli-Cinnamon Bath Bombs w/ Shea & Mango butter are to die for!!

A lovely thin while power form of Citric Acid that dissolves easily. A great product for reducing the PH in products as well as providing the anti oxident qualities.

Consistently fresh and well priced. Must have for bath fizzies and other applications. I will not use any other citric acid other than ND!!
