CDF Sodium Phytate (Chelating Agent)

Why Use CDF Sodium Phytate?

Sodium Phytate is a multifunctional ingredient used to improve the stability, safety, and shelf life of cosmetic and personal care formulations. By binding trace metals that can trigger oxidation or microbial growth, it prevents product discoloration, rancidity, and degradation of sensitive actives such as Vitamin C and botanical extracts. It is especially valued in natural and organic formulations where synthetic chelators like EDTA are avoided.

Key Benefits:

• Natural and biodegradable alternative to EDTA
• Prevents oxidation and rancidity of oils and actives
• Improves stability of natural formulations
• Enhances preservative efficacy and shelf life
• Supports antioxidant systems and color retention
• Eco-cert and COSMOS approved

Usage Guidelines:

• Recommended use level: 0.1–1.0%
• Water-soluble; add during water phase at room temperature or mild heat (<40°C)
• pH stability range: 4.0–8.0
• Compatible with most surfactants, actives, and preservatives

Formulation Tips:

• Combine with antioxidants like Vitamin E or Ascorbyl Glucoside for enhanced protection
• Use with natural preservatives (e.g., sodium levulinate, anisate, or benzyl alcohol) for synergistic effects
• Ideal for sensitive formulations that require minimal synthetic additives
• Effective at low usage levels often 0.1–0.3% is sufficient for stability improvement
