Sodium Phytate

Sodium Phytate (Sodium Phytate) is an all-natural chelating agent derived from Phytic Acid, which is predominantly found in plant tissues such as bran and seeds where it serves as the principal storage form of phosphorus. This ingredient is celebrated for its ability to replace conventional chelating agents like disodium and tetrasodium EDTA in cosmetic formulations. Sodium Phytate effectively prevents undesirable metal-catalyzed reactions, thus stabilizing products and mitigating issues related to discoloration and rancidity that may be caused by trace metals. Additionally, by binding to these metal ions, it enhances the efficacy of preservatives, allowing them to work more efficiently against microorganisms that rely on these metals for growth. With a fully neutralized pH of approximately 12, Sodium Phytate is an essential component for those seeking to formulate stable and long-lasting cosmetic products.
