Description
EDTA, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a molecule which complexes metal ions in aqueous environments. It is available in four neutralizations, two of which, Disodium EDTA and Tetrasodium EDTA, are commonly used in cosmetics. Generally, the choice of which product to use is determined by the intended pH of your product. Disodium EDTA is commonly used in neutral to mildly acidic products, like most creams, lotions, and neutral pH liquid soaps and shampoos.
EDTA catalyzes metal ions, which can be present in any water-based system. These metal ions can react with formulation ingredients causing problems, including:
-Spoilage and rancidity
-Degradation of vitamins and essential fatty acids
-Fragrance degradation,
-Discoloration
-Haze formation and precipitation
-Poor foaming and rinsability performance.
EDTA also works synergistically with your preservative to improve preservative efficacy.
