GlossaryEthylenediaminetetraacetic Acid

chelating agent that binds metal ions, often called EDTA

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid, commonly known as EDTA, is a chemical compound that binds to metal ions, effectively sequestering them. In the context of hair and biology, EDTA is often used in shampoos and conditioners to remove mineral deposits from the hair and scalp, improving the effectiveness of other ingredients. It is also used in medical and laboratory settings to prevent blood samples from clotting by binding calcium ions.
