Ingredient

Sodium Phytate

Low risk

FunctionChelator

What it is — Sodium Phytate (INCI: Sodium Phytate), derived from phytic acid, is a chelating (metal-binding) agent.

What it does — It is commonly used to bind trace metal ions, which helps keep a formula stable, clear and effective over time.

Typical use — It appears at low levels across many products as a supporting stabilizer, often as a plant-derived alternative to EDTA.

Who it suits / good to know — Present at supporting levels rather than as an active. It protects formula quality rather than delivering a skincare effect.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a gentle chelator and an alternative to EDTA. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — gentle chelator, alternative to EDTA.
