Description
Trisodium EDTA (trisodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate) is a water-soluble salt used in cosmetics as a chelating agent to ensure the quality and stability of cosmetic products. Trisodium EDTA acts as a chelating agent, meaning it is able to bind to and sequester metal ions that may be present in water or other ingredients and prevent them from interacting with other ingredients in the product, which can lead to changes in its quality or stability. In addition, Trisodium EDTA can help preserve the effectiveness of other ingredients in cosmetics. For example, it can help preserve the stability of antioxidants which help protect the skin from harmful environmental factors, or preserve the stability of fragrant components.
