Trisodium Edta
Trisodium EDTA (CAS #150-38-9) is a chelating agent commonly used as a helper ingredient in cosmetic formulations. It works by neutralizing metal ions present in the formula, typically introduced via water, which would otherwise cause undesirable changes to the product. Its primary role is to improve and maintain product stability rather than to deliver direct skin benefits.
