Widely used in the cosmetic industry. Derived from
citrus fruits by fermentation of crude
sugars. Used as a preservative and to adjust
acid-alkali balance. Citric acid is said to have
antioxidant and toning properties. Citric acid is one of
the alpha-hydroxy acids. AHA's are used
not only to reduce wrinkles but also to brighten your
skin. The "new" alpha hydroxy acid skin
treatments are simply made up of lactic acid (milk),
citric acid (citrus), glycolic (sugar cane),
malic (apples), and tartaric (grapes) acids
