Quite a few - though just like lemon juice and vinegar, the majority of natural and aritifical acids are not harmful.

Anyway, some of the common ones can include:-

Methyl benzoic acid

Propionic acid

Salicylic acid

Glycolic acid

Undecylenic acid

Some of them (Salicyclic for example) are either very mild or harmless, others like glycolic must be carefully controlled as this is also the acid that is used for facial peels.

The list above is not exhaustive as many fragrances are effectively acid based as are some colourants.
