Refill in store for $0.85/oz

Food Applications: it can be used as an effective preservative (keeps fresh fruit from oxidizing, regulates the pH level in canned goods), for flavor (coating candy produces the classic mouth puckering sourness), as salt replacement (substitute equal amount of citric acid for salt for the same flavor and none of the sodium), or as an emulsifier

Non-Food Applications: use as a great cleaning agent (added to dishwashing detergents it acts as a descaler), in shampoos (lowers the pH levels so hair will turn out smoother and shinier), in skin care (may improve skin health by stimulating collagen production and acting as an antioxidant)

One really fun use of citric acid is in bath bomb recipes as the agent responsible for the fizzing action.
