EDTA 2NA

EDTA is commonly found in:

• Cosmetics: Stabilizes lotions, creams, and makeup products.
• Hair Care: Prevents mineral build-up in shampoos and conditioners.
• Skin Care: Protects active ingredients from degradation in cleansers and toners.
• Household Products: Used in detergents and cleaning agents to improve performance in hard water.
• Food and Beverage: Acts as a preservative to maintain color and flavor.

Safety:

• Considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products at low concentrations (typically less than 0.2%–2%).
• Approved by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and CIR Expert Panel.
• Generally non-toxic, but not biodegradable, raising environmental concerns about its persistence in water systems.
