This finely powdered sodium phytate is formulated for cosmetic and personal care use, offering a practical, water-soluble solution for formulators working on serums, creams, lotions, toners and gels. Designed to dissolve easily into aqueous phases, the ingredient helps manage metal ions that can affect color, odor and preservative performance in finished products. It’s supplied in a compact 1.76oz size suitable for hobbyists, indie brands and small-batch labs.

How does this ingredient affect my DIY serum or lotion?

As a chelating agent, sodium phytate binds trace metal ions that can catalyze unwanted changes in formulations. By reducing the activity of these metals, it helps maintain color and odor stability and supports the overall appearance of the product without altering texture.

• Helps limit metal-catalyzed oxidation that can discolor formulations
• Supports clarity in clear or lightly tinted serums and toners
• Compatible with common emollients and humectants used in lotions and creams

How do I use and incorporate MAYKER Sodium Phytate Powder?

It dissolves readily in water-based phases, so add it to the aqueous portion of your formulation during the mixing stage. Typical usage rates vary by formula; start at low concentrations and increase only if needed while monitoring pH and performance.

• Dissolve fully in warm water or the product's aqueous phase before combining with oils
• Begin with conservative concentrations and adjust based on stability testing
• Check compatibility with pH, preservatives and other active ingredients

Will this ingredient work with my other cosmetic ingredients?

The powder is designed for formulation compatibility and is commonly used alongside emulsifiers, preservatives, humectants and botanical extracts. Because it primarily targets metal ions, it rarely interferes with texture or sensory attributes when used at recommended levels.

• Formulation-friendly with a wide range of cosmetic components
• Suitable for both clear and emulsified product types
• Works alongside common preservative systems to support stability

What safety and quality considerations should I note?

This is a cosmetic-grade ingredient intended only for external personal care formulations and not for ingestion. Handle the powder with basic protective measures, avoid inhalation and store it in a cool, dry place in a tightly closed container.

• Cosmetic-grade purity for personal care use only
• Avoid direct ingestion and inhalation during handling
• Store sealed, protected from moisture and extreme heat

Who is this for: MAYKER Sodium Phytate Powder is suitable for DIY formulators, indie skincare brands, cosmetic hobbyists and small laboratories creating water-based serums, creams, lotions, toners and gels. It’s especially useful if you want a compact, easy-to-dissolve chelating agent to help preserve the appearance and stability of small-batch products without changing texture.
