Trilon B (EDTA) (Tetrasodium EDTA)

Description

Tetrasodium EDTA is known for its ability to prevent mold growth and spoilage of other ingredients, but some skincare experts have concerns about this chemical. Tetrasodium EDTA works by neutralizing metal ions, which can often cause damage to skin products. However, these same properties are believed to cause health problems with prolonged use and high dosages because while they may be effective in ensuring the safety of skincare formulas, the neutralization of natural ions in the body can disrupt normal bodily functions. In addition to its use as a preservative, Tetrasodium EDTA is also valued in skincare products for its ability to weaken the natural skin barrier and provide deeper penetration of other ingredients. This quality can be particularly useful for enhancing the effectiveness of certain products, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeply, thereby making a more significant impact.
