Name Calcium disodium EDTA Description Calcium disodium EDTA is a chelating agent used to bind and remove metal ions from solutions, helping soap lather better and leave less residue, and increasing stability of formulas. Benefits Helps soaps lather more cleanly and stabilizes formulas. Considerations • Skin Irritation
High concentrations can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
• Respiratory Irritation
Recommended to not use in powdered or aerosolized products as it can be absorbed through the lungs and/or cause respiratory irritation. • Penetration Enhancer
Caldium disodium EDTA is not readily absorbed through the skin, however due to it's ability to chelate calcium, may aid the absorption of other chemicals through the skin barrier. Synonyms Edetate calcium disodium
