TETRASODIUM ETIDRONATE
Tetrasodium Etidronate (INCI: Tetrasodium Etidronate) is a synthetic ingredient that acts as a chelating agent, emulsifier, and thickener in cosmetic formulations. As a chelating agent, it captures metal ions that could destabilize the formula. It also helps to form and stabilize emulsions, while contributing to increasing the viscosity of the product.
