Sodium Citrate

What it is
Sodium citrate is a gentle ingredient used in skincare to help maintain the formula's pH, keeping it within the range intended by the formulator.

Why we use it
We use sodium citrate to help keep our skincare products balanced, stable, and consistent. Maintaining the right pH is an important part of creating a moisturizer that performs the way it was designed to.

Why it's considered safe

  • Commonly used in skincare and personal-care products

  • Primarily used to help adjust and maintain pH

  • Used in small, purposeful amounts within properly formulated cosmetics

Good to know
Not every ingredient is there to hydrate or soothe. Some quietly help the entire formula work as intended. Sodium citrate is one of those behind-the-scenes ingredients, helping keep certain Lotus formulas properly balanced from the first use to the last.

The Lotus Standard
We believe every ingredient should have a clear purpose. Sodium citrate helps support the balance and stability of our products so the formula remains consistent, comfortable, and beautiful to use.
