About Sodium Phytate
Sodium Phytate is a salt derived from phytic acid, which is derived mostly from the seeds of cereal grain. Commonly used in personal care products as a chelating agent, especially oral care products. The molecules are able to complex with a metal ion, protecting a formulation from metallic impurities and boosts a formula’s stability.
