Description

EDTA (EthyleneDiamineTetraacetic Acid) is a widely recognized chelating agent in cosmetics. Its primary role is binding metal ions from water or other sources, preventing them from negatively affecting product stability and appearance. Through this action, cosmetic formulas maintain their quality and effectiveness for longer periods, remaining unchanged. EDTA is an acidic molecule, but its salt forms, such as Disodium EDTA, are used even more frequently, helping improve the texture and shelf life of cosmetic products.

Additional information

EDTA helps maintain product clarity and prevents discoloration caused by metal ions.
It enhances preservative efficacy by binding ions that could support microorganism growth.
It is widely used in soaps, shampoos, and lotions to improve stability and performance.
