Sodium Phytate Powder

Sodium Phytate is the sodium salt of phytic acid, a natural chelating agent derived from rice bran or corn. It’s widely used in cosmetics and skincare formulations for its ability to bind metal ions, improve product stability, and enhance the performance of preservatives. Sodium Phytate also has antioxidant properties and can help brighten the skin, making it a functional and skin-friendly alternative to synthetic chelators like EDTA.
