Product Introduction

Triethyl Citrate is an eco-friendly auxiliary synthesized by esterification of citric acid and ethanol. It features non-toxicity and mild irritation. It serves as a compliant plasticizer, solubilizer and odor neutralizer. Derived from natural sources, it fits clean beauty and organic skincare systems without risks of harmful phthalate plasticizers, widely adopted in cosmetics, food packaging and fragrance industries globally.

Core Functions & Advantages

1. Effective Plasticizing & Softening Effect: Softens wax systems in lipsticks, lip balms and solid fragrance balms, preventing cracking of solid sticks and improving spreadability to eliminate dry and stiff application caused by hard waxes.
2. Excellent Solubilizing Carrier: Dissolve flavors, essential oils, oil-soluble active ingredients and sunscreens, avoiding precipitation and delamination of essence oils to enhance overall system uniformity and stability.
3. Odor Neutralization & Slow Release: Absorb slight peculiar smells from raw materials (fishy odor of oils, pungent smell of preservatives); slow down fragrance volatilization for longer-lasting and even aroma release.
4. Mild & Low Irritation: Non-sensitizing, free of phthalate plasticizers; safe for sensitive skin and maternity formulas with mild emollient and soothing effects.
5. High Formula Compatibility: Compatible with aqueous serums, emulsified creams, solid makeup, fragrance sprays and washing care formulas without damaging system stability.
