Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Citric acid is ready to use directly from the packaging. For applications involving mixing, ensure all utensils and containers are clean and dry.
Compatibility:
- DIY Cosmetics: Compatible with most ingredients used in bath bombs, soaps, and lotions.
- Cleaning: Effective on most metals (except aluminum and galvanized steel), glass, and ceramic. Avoid using on natural stone or porous surfaces.
- Food: Suitable for use in food and beverages as an acidulant or preservative.
Care:
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in a tightly sealed container. The anhydrous form is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling larger quantities or when creating concentrated solutions.
- Ensure adequate ventilation when using in cleaning applications.
- Do not mix with bleach or other cleaning agents, as this can create hazardous fumes.
