EDTA 2Na (Disodium EDTA) – 80g – Chelating Agent for Cosmetic Stability

EDTA 2Na (Disodium EDTA) – 80g – Chelating Agent for Cosmetic Stability

Description

EDTA 2Na (Disodium EDTA) is a highly effective chelating agent used in cosmetic and personal care formulations to bind metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron present in water. By neutralizing these ions, EDTA 2Na prevents ingredient degradation, improves product stability, and enhances preservative performance.

It does not act as a preservative itself but significantly boosts preservative efficacy, helping products maintain clarity, color, texture, and shelf life. EDTA 2Na is widely used in creams, lotions, shampoos, cleansers, gels, and serums.
