Sodium Citrate and Why pH Matters
Acids work only in a narrow window, and skin has a preferred range of its own. Sodium citrate is the buffer that holds a formula steady in that window, pairing with citric acid to resist pH drift over the life of the bottle. It also binds stray metal ions that would otherwise degrade antioxidants.
That second job explains its presence in SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF. Elsewhere it is about comfort: Revision Skincare Soothing Facial Rinse, SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Mask, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 and Obagi Hydrate Light all use it.
Is sodium citrate an exfoliant?
No — that is its parent, citric acid. Sodium citrate is the neutralized salt, present to steady the pH rather than to resurface anything, so it adds nothing to the acid load of a routine.
