Pentasodium Triphosphate

Pentasodium Triphosphate is a salt that functions as a chelating agent, meaning it binds to metal ions. In cosmetics, this helps to improve the stability and effectiveness of products by preventing unwanted reactions with minerals in water or other ingredients. It can also act as a water softener.
