DESCRIPTION: Sodium Citrate is primarily used as a buffering agent in cosmetics, to control the change of pH in the shelf life of a product. It also has preservative properties, ensuring that products are durable and safe from microbial growth during the shelf life of a product. Sodium citrate also has chelating properties, working to bind metal ions that can cause instability in a product.
