A Mum's Problem. A Global Solution.
In 2017, I was a Dubai mum with a very simple problem.
My son was a fussy eater. He didn't want his rice touching his chicken, his fruit anywhere near his sandwich, and his yoghurt had to stay cold while his pasta stayed warm. Every lunchbox I tried failed him - food mixed together, lids leaked in his school bag, and half of it came home uneaten.
So I made one myself.
I designed a lunchbox with separate compartments, a built-in insulated food jar for hot meals, leak-proof seals, and materials I felt safe putting in my child's hands. No BPA. No phthalates. No compromises.
I made 3,000 units. They sold out in weeks.
That's when I realised - it wasn't just my problem. It was every parent's problem.
Three Words Guide Everything We Make
-
Safe
Every material is BPA-free, phthalate-free, and lead-free. From our organic bamboo tableware to our Tritan bottles — if it's not safe enough for our own kids, it doesn't ship.
-
Functional
Beautiful products that don't work aren't products — they're decorations. Every Citron product is tested by real kids, in real school bags, on real school days. Leak-proof means leak-proof.
-
Durable
We design products that last years, not weeks. Stainless steel interiors. Reinforced latches. Materials that survive being dropped, thrown, and stuffed into backpacks 200 days a year.

Better Products. Less Waste.
Sustainability isn't a marketing campaign for us — it's how we build things.
Our backpacks are made from recycled PET bottles. Our tableware uses organic bamboo. Our lunchboxes are built to last for years, keeping thousands of single-use plastic bags out of landfills.
We're not perfect. But we're intentional. Every material choice, every packaging decision, every product we bring to market — we ask ourselves: is this the responsible way to do it?
