EDTA Tetrahydrate (Na₂) Chelating Agent

INIC NAME: Disodium EDTA

PRODUCT TYPE: Cosmetic Raw Material | Chelating Agent | Formulation Aid

DESCRIPTION:

 EDTA Tetrahydrate Na2 is a water-soluble chelating agent widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It helps bind metal ions, such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, that may be present in water or raw materials.

By binding these metal ions,  EDTA helps reduce their unwanted effects on cosmetic formulations and can support product stability, appearance, and the performance of certain preservatives.

It is commonly used in water-based skincare, haircare, cleansing products, liquid soaps, and other personal care formulations where controlling metal ions is beneficial.

An excellent formulation aid for cosmetic makers seeking to improve the stability and consistency of their products.
