Sodium Phytate

What it is
Sodium phytate is a formula-supporting ingredient that helps keep skincare stable by binding trace minerals that can otherwise interfere with a product over time.

Why we use it
We use sodium phytate to help protect the stability, consistency, and appearance of our formulas. It works quietly behind the scenes so the other ingredients can perform as intended.

Why it’s considered safe

  • Used in cosmetics as a chelating ingredient

  • Helps support formula stability and appearance

  • Used in small, purposeful amounts within properly formulated skincare

Good to know
Sodium phytate is not a moisturizing or soothing active. Its role is more practical. By binding trace metal ions, it helps reduce unwanted changes that can affect a formula’s stability, color, or overall performance.

The Lotus Standard
We believe every ingredient should have a clear purpose, including the ones working behind the scenes. Sodium phytate helps us create formulas that remain stable, consistent, and beautiful to use from the first application to the last.
