65501-24-8 EDTA Di-hydrate Tri-potassium in Cosmetics

With the improvement of consumption capacity, cosmetics have gradually become a regular product in people's lives. Following this, some businesses began to add some harmful substances beyond the standard in cosmetics just for profit. Recently, it has been suggested that the use of EDTA tripotassium in cosmetics is harmful, which has caused a lot of panic. So, is there any harm in the use of EDTA tripotassium in cosmetics? In fact, if you want to know that it is non-toxic, you must first know its performance.

EDTA K3 Powder

EDTA tripotassium, also known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tri potassium, is a white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water. The pH value of 5% aqueous solution is between 6.3-8.3. It is commonly used as blood anticoagulant. Because of its unique properties, EDTA can chelate metal ions, and also has a protective effect on blood cells, improving the detection efficiency, and has a good anti coagulation effect, which is considered to be an ideal anticoagulant in medicine. The use of EDTA tripotassium in cosmetics also has these characteristics and can play a special role.

EDTA tri potassium parameters:

1, Chelation

Because of its unique characteristics, EDTA can tightly hold the metal ions contained in the solution, making it difficult to play its role and react with other substances. Why should the metal ions contained in cosmetics be trapped? This is mainly because the metal ions will precipitate after reacting with other substances, and the presence of metal ions in cosmetics will make them discolor, deteriorate, and have antioxidant failure, which may also promote the oxidation of various oils in the ingredients.

2, Adjust the PH value of cosmetics

When EDTA tripotassium is used in cosmetics, it can balance the pH value of the solution, that is, it can automatically adjust the pH of the solution, so that the pH range of the cosmetics can be controlled within the appropriate range, and protect the human skin from irritation.

3, Antibacterial mechanism

Some cosmetics will require antibacterial treatment. EDTA contained in tri potassium EDTA can combine with metal ions in microbial cell wall to enhance its permeability, which is conducive to the full penetration of antibacterial agents and play an adequate role. In addition, when EDTA tripotassium is used in cosmetics, it can discharge residual metal substances, such as lead and mercury, which are often contained in whitening products.
