valued in formulations for its multifunctional properties, including film formation, flexibility, and enhanced product durability

INCI name: Acetyl Triethyl Citrate

  • based on citric acid raw material, mainly derived from the fermentation of corn 
  • forms a thin, continuous film on hair strands, offering benefits such as increased smoothness, shine, and manageability
  • helps to protect hair from environmental stressors, such as pollution and humidity, which can lead to frizz and damage
  • improves the flexibility and durability of nail polish films, reducing the likelihood of chipping and cracking
  • biodegradable: citrate-based esters are more readily biodegradable than their synthetic counterparts
  • safer alternative: phthalate-free plasticizer
