Description

Sodium Phytate is a natural replacement for EDTA, helping soften water. Sodium Phytate is biodegradable (by fungal activity). Sodium Phytate helps stabilise cosmetic formulations by preventing undesirable reactions. Sodium phytate is a natural chelating agent that guards products against oxidation, and inactivates the metal ions in a formula by sequestering them and forming a biodegradable complex. It works synergistically with cosmetic antioxidants to protect a finished product from oxidation and potential discoloration. It can be used in foaming products to maintain the foaming properties in the presence of hard water. It comes as a white powder, added to the water phase during every step of production, and it serves as an excellent natural alternative to EDTA. It is Vegan suitable.
