Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Low risk

FunctionChelator

What it is — Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate (INCI: Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate), a biodegradable chelating agent.

What it does — It is commonly used to bind trace metal ions in a formula, which helps keep products stable, clear and better able to lather; it is often chosen as an eco-friendlier alternative to EDTA-type chelators.

Typical use — Found at low levels in cleansers, shampoos, toners and creams as a formulation aid.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin and scalp types; it supports the performance of the rest of the formula rather than acting on skin itself.

Safety — Rated low risk and considered low-irritation (commonly cited around EWG 1). This is general information rather than medical advice.

Why we grade it Low: Low-irritation, eco-friendlier alternative to EDTA-type chelators (EWG 1).
