TETRASODIUM EDTA

Tetrasodium EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid) is a chelating agent commonly utilized in cosmetics and personal care products. Functioning as a stabilizer, it enhances product quality by preventing deterioration and discoloration caused by trace metal ions. In skincare, Tetrasodium EDTA promotes the effectiveness of other ingredients by preventing the interference of metal ions present in water. This versatile compound is particularly beneficial in formulations like cleansers, shampoos, and skincare products, contributing to their longevity and performance. While generally regarded as safe for topical use, its inclusion is often a strategic choice to maintain the stability and efficacy of cosmetic formulations. The chemical formula of Tetrasodium EDTA is C₁₀H₁₂N₂Na₄O₈.
