Description
In rinse-off products:
- maintains foaming properties in the presence of hard water
- prevents the precipitation of insoluble salts of fatty acids in soaps
- efficiency optimal at higher pH (~ 6)
Recommended concentration:
- O/W emulsions 0.05 – 0.2 %
- Rinse-off products 0.1 – 0.2 %
- WORKING WITH sodium phytate
In emulsions:
- Can be added to the aqueous phase at any step during the formulation process; can be dissolved in cold water
- Consider the high amount of electrolytes introduced into the emulsion
In formulations with surfactants:
- Sodium phytate should be added to the aqueous phase before adding the thickener.
Keep in mind the very high pH.
When working with alkali-sensitive raw materials, it is recommended to dissolve sodium phytate in water, then add the appropriate substances.
Perfectly stable in U/W emulsions and aqueous systems.
INCI: sodium phytate
