This is crystalline material. (There is also a liquid version available) . Chelates and Chelants are often used in bar, liquid soaps, cleaners, degreasers, metalworking and other products.
Used control metal ions across a very broad pH range. Whether used in personal care products, or other applications, chelates improve product stability, and offer enhancements in performance areas like better rinsability, foaming, and can help extend shelf life of packaged products when chosen with a good preservative system.

Chelating agents effectively prevent chalking, rancidity, and metal-catalyzed discoloration in formulations. Additional quantities of chelating agent may also improve foaming, soaping action, and the "feel" of the soap at normal bathing temperatures.
Typically will not chelate monovalent metal ions such as sodium or potassium, but will chelate most multivalent metal ions (Fe, Cu, Mn, Ca, Mg). The chelation reaction is virtually instantaneous in most cases. Calcium and other alkaline earth metals are most effectively chelated above pH 6. Tetrasodium EDTA chelates most transition metals typically between pH rge of 4 to 12.
Tetrasodium EDTA is easy to use and is added to emulsions in the water phase at typical use levels of 0.02%-0.1% so it is very cost effective. Add it to your lye/water mixture. Use in other skin care products.
EDTA is a good addition to hand made soaps ,many hair products, creams and lotions
