Ingredient
HEDTA/3Na solution
HEDTA/3Na solution is used in skincare as absorbent, bulking, chelating, opacifying and viscosity controlling. It isn't one of the ingredients Jouaxia flags for pregnancy.
What does HEDTA/3Na solution do?
- Absorbent: soaks up oil or water.
- Bulking: adds body to a product, usually a powder.
- Chelating: binds metals in water so the formula stays stable.
- Opacifying: makes a product less see-through.
- Viscosity controlling: thickens or thins the product.
