Sodium Phytate
Product Introduction
Sodium Phytate is a naturally occurring salt found in many plants, especially seeds and grains. It is valued in the skincare industry for its antioxidant and preservative properties. Sodium phytate offers various benefits for skin care. Not only is it an effective antioxidant, it is also gentle on the skin and therefore suitable for all skin types. Its ability to bind metal ions can also help improve the effectiveness of other ingredients in skincare products. Sodium phytate is used in a variety of skincare products, including facial cleansers, moisturizers and serums. It is particularly useful in products that target skin ageing and pigmentation spots.
Chelating agents are commonly added to cosmetic formulations to act as a preservative potentiator, Micro organisms need trace metals for cell wall maintenance and survival. Chelants bind with these metals, making them unavailable to bacteria, thereby weakening bacteria and allowing cosmetic preservatives to work more efficiently. EDTA is commonly added to cosmetic formulations for this purpose and Sodium Phytate should have a similar function.
Sodium phytate is a salt of phytic acid found in plants. It is known for its ability to bind metal ions, making it an effective preservative and stabilizer in skin care products. Sodium phytate also has antioxidant properties that can help neutralize free radicals.
Effect of Sodium Phytate on the skin:
Antioxidant properties: Sodium Phytate helps to protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.
Preservative: As a natural preservative, sodium phytate prevents the growth of microorganisms in skin care products.
Skin lightening: There is evidence that sodium phytate can help reduce pigmentation and lighten skin tone.

Sodium phytate is an organic sodium salt, white hygroscopic powder, easily soluble in water, its aqueous solution has a strong alkaline. Sodium phytate not only contains more sodium ions, which can be used as active dye promoting agent, but also has a certain degree of alkaline, which can be used as Chemicalbook active dye fixing agent. Phytate/sodium phytate is widely used in cereals, legumes and oil crops. It can be used as food antioxidant, bacteriostatic agent, color protectant, chelating agent and preservative in the food industry.
In addition to its chelating properties, Sodium Phytate has other skin benefits:
•Moisturizes skin
