Sodium Phytate

Sodium Phytate is a natural chelating agent derived from plants, such as rice or corn. It binds to metal ions, preventing them from interfering with product stability and efficacy. This helps to maintain the integrity of cosmetic formulations and can enhance the performance of other ingredients.
