THE STORY OF FC CHELAT NaEDTA
FC Chelat NaEDTA: The Essential Chelating Agent for Product Stability
FC Chelat NaEDTA is a highly effective chelating agent used across skincare, haircare, and personal-care formulations. It binds to metal ions that can cause instability, discoloration, rancidity, and loss of efficacy. Widely recognized as a key support ingredient, it helps maintain clarity, color, fragrance, and shelf stability in cosmetic products.
Synthetic Chelator Engineered to Neutralize Metal Impurities
FC Chelat NaEDTA is the disodium salt of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid, created through controlled chemical synthesis.
It works by binding (chelating) metal ions such as:
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Copper
• Iron
• Heavy metal traces
These ions often enter formulations through water, pigments, botanical extracts, or packaging. By binding them, EDTA ensuresstability, clarity, and long-lasting product performance.
Stabilize. Protect. Preserve.
Key benefits in cosmetic and personal care products:
✅ Prevents product discoloration and oxidation
✅ Enhances preservative performance by reducing metal interference
✅ Improves foam stability in shampoos and cleansers
✅ Keeps fragrances stable and long-lasting
✅ Prevents rancidity in oil-containing formulas
Used in: shampoos, face creams, toners, serums, gels, soaps, color cosmetics, and oral-care formulations.
