Disodium EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium Salt) is a high-purity, cosmetic-grade, white crystalline powder used as a powerful chelating agent and stabilizer in personal care formulations. It functions by binding (chelating) trace metal ions—such as iron, calcium, and magnesium found in water—that can cause product deterioration.
Often referred to as an "invisible mechanic," Disodium EDTA ensures the long-term stability of formulations by preventing unwanted changes in consistency, color, odor, and pH. It is an essential ingredient for ensuring product safety and longevity, from the first drop to the last.
Key Benefits & Functions:
Superior Chelating Action: Binds metal ions to prevent them from reacting with other ingredients.
Extends Shelf Life: Prevents oxidation and rancidity in creams, lotions, and soaps.
Boosts Preservative Efficacy: Inactivates metal ions that microorganisms need to thrive, enhancing the overall preservative system.
Improves Product Performance: Enhances the foaming and cleansing power of surfactants in hard water, allowing for better rinsability.
Maintains Formulation Integrity: Protects against discoloration and texture changes.
Typical Applications:
Creams, Lotions, and Serums (ideal for neutral to mildly acidic pH)
Shampoos and Conditioners
Cleansers and Body Washes
Mineral Sunscreens
