Sodium Phytate

Sodium Phytate is the sodium salt of myo-inositol hexakis(dihydrogen phosphate), with CAS numbers 14306-25-3 / 34367-89-0 and EC number 238-242-6. It functions primarily as a chelating agent in cosmetic formulations. It works by neutralizing metal ions that typically enter formulas via water, which would otherwise cause undesirable changes such as color shifts or product degradation.
