Sodium citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid, a naturally occurring acid found in citrus fruits. In cosmetics, it primarily functions as a pH adjuster, helping to stabilize the acidity or alkalinity of a product. It can also act as a chelating agent, binding to metal ions to prevent them from affecting the product's stability or appearance.
