Disodium EDTA
Category: Chelating Agent
Brief description: A salt of EDTA used to sequester metal ions, improving the stability and performance of cosmetic products.
Benefits: Prevents deterioration and changes in product texture, odor, and consistency caused by metal ions.
Skin type suitability/concerns: Generally well-tolerated, but may be irritating in high concentrations.
Target audience: All audiences.
Chemical composition: The disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
Physical aspect: White, crystalline powder.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients.
Concentration: Used at low concentrations; typically less than 2% in cosmetic formulations.
Side effects/adverse reactions: Can be mildly irritating to skin and eyes in high concentrations.
Regulatory status: Approved for use in cosmetics, but concentration limits may apply.
Sustainability/ethical considerations: Concerns about biodegradability and potential environmental toxicity.
