FunctionChelator
What it is — Pentasodium Pentetate (INCI: Pentasodium Pentetate) is a chelating agent.
What it does — It is commonly used to bind trace metal ions in a formula, which helps keep the product stable, clear and less prone to discoloration or spoilage.
Typical use — Found in cleansers, creams, lotions and a wide range of rinse-off and leave-on products, usually at very low levels.
Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable; it is a background stability aid rather than a skin active, so there is little for the skin to react to.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice.
