Tetrasodium EDTA
Personal Care
Tetrasodium EDTA is a synthetic compound used in personal care products as a chelating agent, which means it binds to metal ions to prevent them from destabilizing the formulation. By doing so, it enhances the stability, texture, and shelf life of products like shampoos, cleansers, and lotions. It also helps boost the effectiveness of preservatives, making products more resistant to microbial growth. Tetrasodium EDTA is especially useful in hard water conditions, preventing soap scum and residue. While generally considered safe in cosmetics, it is typically used in low concentrations.
