INCI Name: Tetrasodium EDTA
Functions:
- Chelating Agent: Tetrasodium EDTA is used to bind metal ions like calcium and magnesium. This prevents these ions from interacting with other ingredients in the formulation, which could lead to color changes or decreased product stability.
- Preservative Booster: By binding metal ions, Tetrasodium EDTA enhances the effectiveness of other preservatives in preventing microbial growth, thus extending the product's shelf life.
