(C10H12N2Na4O8) is the salt resulting from the neutralization of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid with four equivalents of sodium hydroxide. It is a white solid that is highly soluble in water.
Tetrasodium EDTA is used as a chelating agent, or to put it in layman's terms, it makes hard water become soft. As the chelating agent, it neutralizes the metal ions in hard water and allows the surfactant to do its job.

Tetrasodium EDTA is used as a chelating agent, or to put it in layman's terms, it makes hard water become soft. As water makes its way through the water cycle, it sometimes picks up metal ions such as calcium and iron. These metal ions can make water hard, which is a problem because hard water will not get you clean. Besides its uses as a preservative, Tetrasodium EDTA is also valued in skincare applications because of its ability to increase the penetrability of the natural skin barrier and allow deeper penetration by other ingredients.
