About Potassium Citrate

Potassium Citrate is the potassium salt of citric acid.[1] Its solubility and ionic state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the acidity of the formula, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to buffer the formula so its acidity does not change rapidly, and to bind metal ions to reduce their effects on color, scent, and formula stability.[2]
