INCI: Sodium Phytate, Aqua, Alcohol

Essentially Natural Sodium Phytate is a natural chelating agent used to bind trace metal ions in water based formulations. By tying up metals that catalyse oxidation, it helps protect colour, fragrance, and sensitive actives, and can improve preservative performance and foam quality in hard water. A readily biodegradable alternative to EDTA, it suits shampoos, body washes, serums, toners, gels, and oil in water emulsions.

♡ Why we love it: Small percentage, big stability win. It helps keep formulas looking and smelling fresh for longer, with easy, water phase processing and broad formulation compatibility.

Sizes: 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 200ml, 500ml.

This product is certified: BWC, Halal, and Vegan.
