It is available in four neutralizations, two of which, Disodium EDTA and Tetrasodium EDTA, are commonly used in cosmetics. Generally, the choice of which product to use is determined by the intended pH of your product. Disodium EDTA is commonly used in neutral to mildly acidic products, like most creams, lotions, and neutral pH liquid soaps and shampoos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEDTA catalyzes metal ions, which can be present in any water-based system.  These metal ions can react with formulation ingredients causing problems, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpoilage and rancidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDegradation of vitamins and essential fatty acids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrance degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscoloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaze formation and precipitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor foaming and rinsability performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEDTA also works synergistically with your preservative to improve preservative efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINCI:\u003c\/strong\u003e Disodium EDTA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Prop 65 Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe following statement is made in order to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

In clear or transparent gel, serum, or clear surfactant systems, use Tetrasodium EDTA, which is highly soluble in water. At low usage rates, it will not raise the pH unduly, but if it does, you can simply lower the pH of your formulation with a citric acid solution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRecommended Usage Rate:\u003c\/span\u003e 0.1-0.3% \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e Powder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place protected from humidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShelf-Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 months from date of manufacture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry out these formulations using this ingredient:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lotioncrafter.live\/blogs\/skin-care\/exfoliating-body-conditioner\" title=\"Exfoliating Body Conditioner\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExfoliating Body Conditioner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Goat Milk Lotion\" href=\"https:\/\/lotioncrafter.live\/blogs\/skin-care\/goat-milk-lotion\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGoat Milk Lotion\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Silken Therapy Lotion\" href=\"https:\/\/lotioncrafter.live\/blogs\/skin-care\/silken-therapy-lotion\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSilken Therapy™ Lotion\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Jen's Bodacious Cream\" href=\"https:\/\/lotioncrafter.live\/blogs\/skin-care\/jens-bodacious-cream\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJen's Bodacious Cream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Simple \u0026amp; Luxurious Hair Conditioner\" href=\"https:\/\/lotioncrafter.live\/blogs\/hair-care\/simple-luxurious-hair-conditioner\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSimple \u0026amp; Luxurious Hair Conditioner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Undisclosed","offers":[{"title":"2 oz - $5.65","offer_id":13079590699097,"sku":"EDTADI-02","price":5.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz - $9.95","offer_id":13079590666329,"sku":"EDTADI-08","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb - $16.65","offer_id":13079590633561,"sku":"EDTADI-1","price":16.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lbs - $28.95","offer_id":13079590600793,"sku":"EDTADI-2","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 lbs - $94.55","offer_id":13079590568025,"sku":"EDTADI-8","price":94.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lbs - $275.95","offer_id":13079590731865,"sku":"EDTADI-25","price":275.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/8317\/5001\/products\/EDTA.jpg?v=1571722084","url":"https:\/\/lotioncrafter.live\/products\/disodium-edta","provider":"Lotioncrafter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
