Description
Sodium phytate is a natural and globally approved chelating agent that helps bind metal ions in water, reducing oxidation and discolouration, and boosting the efficacy of preservatives. It is recommended for use in any formulation containing water to improve shelf life and prevent discolouration. It is a natural alternative to EDTA and is available in various sizes. The benefits of using sodium phytate include being ecocert approved, globally approved, natural, readily biodegradable, and non-toxic. It is commonly used in surfactant formulations, emulsions, serums, and any product containing water to protect valuable ingredients and maintain foaming. The recommended usage rate varies depending on the type of product, and it should not be used in W/O emulsions. It is best used with other antioxidants and has a low pH of around 3, but works best at a higher pH of 6. It is important to adjust the pH of the formula when using sodium phytate. The ingredients include sodium phytate, aqua, and alcohol, and it is also known as Dermofeel PA-3.
Sodium phytate is a natural and globally approved chelating agent. Chelating agents help bind metal ions in water, reducing oxidation and discolouration, and boosting the efficacy of the preservative.
One would therefore use sodium phytate in any formulation containing water. While it isnt essential to use a chelating agent, it is recommended as it can give your products a better shelf life and prevent discolouration from occurring.
Sodium phytate is a natural alternative to EDTA.

HOW TO USE SODIUM PHYTATE
Usage rate:
In O/W emulsions: 0.05 - 2%
In rinse off products: 0.1 - 0.2%
Dont use in W/O emulsions.
Dissolve the sodium phytate into the water phase. Sodium phytate is best used with other antioxidants such as Vitamin E and ascorbyl palmitate.
NB: sodium phytate is a salt/electrolyte, and some ingredients do not tolerate electrolytes well. Avoid use with electrolyte-intolerant ingredients.
pH
Sodium phytate is around pH 3, but works best at a higher pH around 6.
Keep in mind that the low pH of sodium phytate may impact the formula so remember to adjust the pH to correct levels.
INGREDIENTS
