ANHYDROUS VS MONOHYDRATE CITRIC ACID

Citric acid anhydrous contains no water, while citric acid monohydrate contains a small amount of bound water within its crystal structure.
For cosmetic, bath bomb, and cleaning applications, many formulators prefer the anhydrous form because:

• It is more concentrated by weight
• It provides greater formulation flexibility
• It performs exceptionally well in bath bomb recipes
• It offers excellent storage stability when kept dry
• You need less product compared to monohydrate alternatives
