Product description

Sodium Phytate is a natural chelating (complexing) agent derived from the rice bran of the Oryza sativa plant. It is produced by aqueous extraction of rice bran, followed by neutralization of phytic acid to produce a stable sodium salt - sodium phytate. Its main role in cosmetics is to bind metal ions (e.g. iron, copper, calcium or magnesium) that are naturally present in water or plant materials and can adversely affect product stability. Sodium Phytate is a biodegradable and natural alternative to synthetic chelators such as EDTA and is fully accepted in natural and "clean beauty" cosmetics.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chelator and why is it important in cosmetics?

A chelator is a substance that can bind metal ions such as iron, copper, calcium or magnesium naturally present in water and plant materials. Although these ions are not harmful, in cosmetic formulations they can accelerate oxidation, reduce the effectiveness of active ingredients and shorten the shelf life of the product. Sodium Phytate acts as a natural chelator - it "traps" these ions in a stable complex, helping to protect the formulation, improving its stability and extending product freshness.

Is Sodium Phytate a humectant?

No, Sodium Phytate is not a humectant. It does not bind water in the skin or provide hydration. Its role is to stabilize the formulation and protect the other ingredients. It is often combined in products with humectants whose effectiveness helps to protect indirectly.

Is Sodium Phytate suitable for natural cosmetics?

Yes, Sodium Phytate has a Natural Origin Index = 1 according to ISO 16128, is biodegradable and fully accepted in natural, vegan and organic cosmetics.
