Triethyl Citrate is a cosmetic ingredient popular mainly in the production of deodorants, body sprays and other personal hygiene products. In formulations, it helps limit the formation of undesirable body odor without disrupting natural sweating. Thanks to its excellent compatibility with other cosmetic raw materials, it is suitable for both home and professional formulations.
Triethyl Citrate is an ester of citric acid, made from citric acid and ethanol. It is among the multifunctional cosmetic ingredients used mostly in personal care products. In cosmetics, it serves as a deodorizing component, solvent, and emollient.
It is a popular alternative for formulations that do not contain aluminum salts. Its mechanism of action is based on limiting the enzymatic activity of bacteria that break down sweat components and create substances responsible for body odor. Triethyl Citrate is not an antiperspirant – it does not restrict natural perspiration.
