Heptasodium Hexacarboxymethyl Dipeptide-12

A heptasodium salt of a hexacarboxymethyl-functionalised dipeptide-12, used in cosmetics as a chelating and sequestering agent. It binds metal ions that can interfere with preservative systems and formula stability, functioning similarly to EDTA but as a peptide-derived alternative.
