Hi. I'm just now learning about Chelating agents. You said some* products. Which products would you recommend adding chelating agents to?

[@katarinastanic4315]

You are the best! Thank you very much! :))

No problem 😊

Hi Belinda! Thanks so much for this super informative video! What do you think about Sodium Gluconate as a chelating agent for use in lotions/creams?

[@everflow5168]

Great video - THX! 2 questions: 1) Does lactic acid also bring a chelating effect like citric acid? 2) Do you know Carephos N (Sodium Polyphosphate)?

How about sodium gluconate(Jungbunzlaeur) as a natural alternative? My supplier tells me that it is a replacement for edta at half is concentration.

Hello. Should I add chelator to my w/o emulsion? Would it interfere with mgso4 used for stabilizing the emulsion?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It would depend on many other factors also in the formula. We’d need to review your specific scenario to advise properly, please purchase consulting time here: personalcarescience.com.au/Advice/Advice-2046/

[@helenav8108]

What abou sodium citrate? I use it as a chelating agent in soapmaking... But not really sure about other kinds of formulations

[@sabeenaparvez3273]

What if the only sodium ion is present in a material such as a polymeric emulsifier for skincare, whether it is pre-neutralised or not, would a chelator still be compatible? Thanks.

[@MaeMae007]

Can sodium phytate be used with iselux ultra mild ?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Yes, but you don’t really need it - none of the surfactants in iselux ultra mild cause scum, so it is not necessary to prevent scum, only if you want it in there for another reason. Learn surfactant chemistry in detail in our Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Science, Certificate in Advanced Hair Formulations or Diploma of Personal Care Formulation.

[@mariehuana5683]

Hi Belinda, thank you for this video...you say, we should not use chelating agent in some clay formulas....in the CCF Program we can make Clay/Charcoal Masks only with Chelating Agents, because the CCF Program don`t allow to "Generate Method" without Chelating Agents....... You have 2 Clay Masks Videos (Pink Clay Mask and Green Clay Mask) with Chelating Agents, too......What is the different, and what do you mean with "some" clay...? Thank you and Greeting from Germany...

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You should not use chelating agents with zinc oxide in sunscreens; but they are a great addition to clay masks.

How is gluconolactone?

[@musicwithdsc]

As a chelator in natural cosmetics

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

It is not sufficient, just like citric acid used to adjust pH provides a small chelating action but not sufficient where chelation of actives or other ingredients is a concern. To learn this properly, please study our Certificate in Cosmetic Preservation, which includes antioxidant and chelator selection as well as full preservative training: personalcarescience.com.au/CosmeticScience/CertificateinCosmeticPreservatives-7431/ :)

[@anavochescu8412]

is EDTA not toxic?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

EDTA is not toxic to humans; it is not so good in our waterways however, in large quantities. In small quantities like that used in personal care, considering the amount used and thrown down the drains in household cleaners, it is not a big issue either. Far more goes down the drain from other applications than in personal care products.

[@lormoon]

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 Hello and thank you for sharing the information. Do you reckon it wouldn't be an issue for water life even if it is in all my skincare products ( 5 ish)? My concern is due to the position of disodium EDTA in the list of the ingredients. Usually I do not worry if it is very low, but in this case it's in the middle of the formulation 🤔 ... Help🥺! And thans😆🌈!
