Ty Disodium EDTA, EDTA 2Na - 50g

Disodium EDTA is a salt form of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a compound known for its ability to bind to metal ions. 
Function:
It acts as a chelator, meaning it binds to metal ions like iron and calcium, preventing them from reacting with other ingredients in a formulation. 
Benefits:
Stability: By removing metal ions, disodium EDTA helps stabilize cosmetic products, preventing discoloration, texture changes, and other issues. 
Preservative Enhancement: It can enhance the effectiveness of preservatives by preventing metal ions from interfering with their action. 
Water Softening: It can also act as a water softener by binding to calcium and magnesium ions, which can cause hardness in water. 
Other Uses: Disodium EDTA is also used in medical applications as an anticoagulant, to remove excess calcium from the body, and in molecular biology to inhibit metal-dependent enzymatic activities. 
Where it's used:
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and other products.
Food: As a food additive to preserve flavor, color, and texture.
Pharmaceuticals: In drug formulations and as an anticoagulant.
Molecular Biology: In buffers, cell culture media, and other applications.
Blood Analysis: As an anticoagulant for blood samples.
