Description
Natural Chelator – Sequestering Agent, Antioxidant, Acid pH Regulator
Natural Chelator based on phytic acid derived from plant seeds and bran, supplied as a concentrated aqueous solution. Used as a high-performance, eco-friendly, and fully biodegradable chelating (sequestering) agent, representing a natural alternative to synthetic chelators like EDTA. It has the ability to bind and neutralize free metal ions in formulas, preventing oxidative degradation, color shifts, and rancidity of lipid components, while simultaneously acting as an efficient acidifying agent for cosmetic compositions.
Ingredients (INCI): Phytic Acid, Aqua.
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Fluid liquid, slightly yellowish, characteristic odor.
- Solubility: Completely water-soluble.
- Raw Material pH (Pure): 1.0 - 2.0 (strongly acidic, specific value).
- Cosmetic Function: Chelating agent, sequestering agent, antioxidant, pH regulator (acidifier), formula stabilizer.
- Indicative Dosage: 0.05% - 0.2%.
Main Properties
- Metal Ion Sequestration: Effectively binds metal ions, blocking reactions that lead to the oxidative degradation of vegetable oils and essential oils in the formulation.
- Acidifying Effect: Due to its acidic nature, it acts as a pH adjuster, allowing alkaline or neutral values to be lowered into the physiological acidic range, partially or fully replacing citric/lactic acid.
- Preserving Booster: By binding calcium and magnesium ions at interfaces, it weakens the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, facilitating much faster penetration of preservative systems.
- Prevention of Chromatic Changes: Prevents interaction between metal impurities and pigments or botanical extracts, reducing the risk of discoloration or yellowing of creams over time.
Applications
- O/W and W/O emulsions: moisturizing creams, body lotions, and serums.
- Hygiene products: shampoos, shower gels, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps.
- Purely aqueous formulations: toners, micellar waters, gels, and serums.
- Formulas containing polyphenolic extracts or sensitive antioxidants - green tea, ginkgo biloba, vitamin C, ferulic acid.
Formulation Guide
The strongly acidic nature of phytic acid mandates clear handling and pH monitoring rules during the manufacturing process:
- Procedure: Adding the natural chelator into the initial water phase is recommended due to its immediate solubility and high heat stability. Alternatively, it can be introduced at the end of preparation during the cooling phase, mixing until completely dispersed.
- pH Management: Adding this product will significantly drop the pH of the water phase or emulsion. It is mandatory to measure the pH at the end of formulating. If the pH drops below the optimal threshold or below the activity limit of the preservative used, it must be adjusted upwards (alkalized) drop by drop using a diluted Sodium Hydroxide or Arginine solution.
- Recommended Usage Dosage: 0.05% - 0.2%. A standard concentration of 0.1% is optimal to ensure the stability of most emulsions and aqueous solutions.
- Thermal Stability: Excellent, withstands standard emulsification temperatures.
Safety in Use and Storage
Safety Profile: Biodegradable plant-derived compound, safe for cosmetic use at recommended concentrations. Well tolerated dermatologically after proper dilution and pH adjustment in the finished product.
Precautions: For external cosmetic use only. In its pure, concentrated state, the liquid is strongly acidic; handle with care, avoiding direct contact with eyes, skin, or mucous membranes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Store in the original tightly closed container, in a dry, cool place.

Are you planning on replacing this with another chelating agent? I would love to see you stock Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate!
I changed the recipe a bit from the new kojic acid toner, which also contains chelator. Along with a friend's ideas and products, I turned it into a serum (with xanthan gum) and replaced the water with equal amounts of witch hazel and immortelle water. And I use it all over my body after an exfoliating shower. I have no words for the result, baby soft skin instantly! It instantly improves the appearance of the skin, and the effect lasts a minimum of 24 hours.
Uz ovaj prirodni kelator sam sigurna da će moji proizvodi trajati duže i zato ga redovno koristim, Moja preporuka.
MANDATORY INGREDIENT IN FORMULAS IN MY OPINION FOR GOOD STABILITY. EASY TO USE, NOTHING COMPLICATED.
I have used it in the recipe for Concealer Cream, anti-pigmentation - found on the website. The cream is now almost 2 months old and has not changed in appearance or odor. It's perfect
I am satisfied with this product, especially since I use it with the recommendation of Elemental specialists and I have never failed, on this way thank you for all the guidance and recipes.
Very good chelating agent, it has an acidic ph and you have to be careful, it has alcohol and is not suitable for halal cosmetics.
It is a very good chelating agent, it slightly acidifies formulations so be careful with solutions sensitive to acid Ph less than 5 (Ex Softderm). With some minerals it can form precipitate (e.g. with the minerals in net net nettle extract, but at acidic pH it clears).
It is a neutralizer of metal ions that could contaminate a cosmetic formulation.It helps to increase the shelf life of a product,increase its stability.
Chelator is of natural origin and is an excellent biodegradable replacement for EDTA. I recommend it for cosmetic formulations where it effectively inactivates metal ions, helping to increase the shelf life, stability and efficacy of cosmetic products.
The range of application of this drug is very large, but I prefer to use it only for the manufacture of various face masks.
I have used it in deodorant in combination with essential oils, aloe vera and alum stone. I am pleased with the texture and effect.
Very important agent for the stability and effectiveness of cosmetic products, prevents discoloration, rancidity and other unwanted reactions.
The product seems to be very useful but it expires on my shelf because I don't know what to use it for. Do you think you could add more recipes where it can be used? And how?
Thanks Elemental! I was pleasantly surprised to find the gift bottle of Chelator in the package. I will use it soon. I also thank you for all the indications you give and congratulations for everything you do! Thanks to you I prepare at home shampoos, gels, creams, etc.everything I need. I wish you good luck in everything you do and I follow you with great interest!
