Keeping it Fresh: Why Disodium EDTA is in Your Aloderma Skincare
At Aloderma, we're all about farm-fresh ingredients. We wouldn't want anything to compromise the quality of our aloe vera, and that's where disodium EDTA comes in. You might not be familiar with this ingredient, but it plays a vital role in keeping our products potent and effective.
Think of disodium EDTA as a tiny magnet. It attracts and binds to mineral ions that can sometimes be found in water or other ingredients. These minerals, while not harmful, can react with certain skincare ingredients over time, affecting their stability and effectiveness. By grabbing these minerals, disodium EDTA prevents them from causing any unwanted changes in our products.
This is especially important for maintaining the integrity of our aloe vera. We use fresh, high-quality aloe vera in all our products, and disodium EDTA helps ensure its natural goodness stays protected. It also helps other ingredients stay fresh and perform at their best, so you get the full benefit of our meticulously crafted formulas.
Disodium EDTA is a safe and widely used ingredient, approved by regulatory bodies around the world. It's found in many skincare products, and at Aloderma, we use it in minimal, safe amounts to ensure the long-lasting quality of our aloe vera goodness.
- Safe Levels: Disodium EDTA is safe when used within recommended amounts. Regulatory agencies like the FDA have set a maximum acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 1.9 mg per kilogram of body weight. This means the amount you'd typically encounter in skincare products is well below what's considered safe.
- Minimal Use at Aloderma: At Aloderma, we follow strict safety guidelines and use disodium EDTA in minimal, safe concentrations far below the established ADI. This ensures its effectiveness in preserving our products without any potential safety concerns.
So, the next time you see disodium EDTA on our ingredient list, know that it's there to safeguard the freshness and potency of our farm-to-skin aloe vera products. It's just another way we ensure you're getting the best possible care for your skin.
