FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is FC-TSPP?
FC-TSPP is a specialized chelating agent based on Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate. It is used in personal care products to enhance the stability of formulations, improve the efficacy of active ingredients, and prevent degradation caused by metal ions present in water or other ingredients. FC-TSPP also helps in enhancing product performance by stabilizing emulsions and boosting the overall effectiveness of cosmetic formulations.
2. What is the CAS Number and INCI Name of FC-TSPP?
CAS Number: 7722-88-5
INCI Name: Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate
3. What are the benefits of using FC-TSPP in personal care products?
Chelating Properties: Effectively binds metal ions that can destabilize formulations.
Stabilization: Enhances the stability and shelf-life of emulsions, creams, and lotions.
Improved Performance: Helps improve the efficacy of active ingredients by reducing the impact of unwanted mineral ions.
Texture Enhancement: Contributes to smoother, more pleasant textures in personal care products.
Water Softening: Helps soften hard water, allowing surfactants to work more effectively.
4. What are the common applications of FC-TSPP in personal care?
Shampoos and Conditioners: Improves product stability and performance, especially in hard water.
Facial Cleansers and Scrubs: Prevents interference from metal ions, maintaining effectiveness.
Skin Creams and Lotions: Stabilizes emulsions, enhancing texture and consistency.
Toothpastes: Ensures a stable product texture and prevents degradation.
Body Washes: Improves formulation consistency and foaming performance.
5. Is FC-TSPP safe for use in personal care products?
Yes, FC-TSPP is considered safe for use in personal care products when used in the recommended concentrations. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations to improve product stability and efficacy.
6. Can FC-TSPP cause skin irritation?
FC-TSPP is generally well-tolerated and does not typically cause skin irritation. However, as with any ingredient, individuals with sensitive skin should perform a patch test before using products containing FC-TSPP.
