Trisodium EDTA

Trisodium EDTA is a chelating agent, meaning it binds to metal ions. In cosmetic formulations, it helps to improve product stability and efficacy by preventing reactions between metal ions and other ingredients. It also enhances the performance of preservatives and can help maintain clarity in products.
