LaDonnaTakyiTaylor review for Multi-Vitamin Refresh Toner

The packaging is simple and pretty, and I like that they use a glass bottle; however, I worry about dropping it by mistake and wasting all that amazing product. I’m concerned that this product contains disodium EDTA. Accoding to INCI Decoder website it’s usually used in less than 0.1% concentration in cosmetics; which is not enough to be harmful. I noticed that a few of my favorite products from brands I already trust, also use this ingredient. However,- knowing that EDTA is a known carcinogen, I’m not sure that I want to use multiple products with that ingredient, as I wonder if using too many products with the ingredient could create enough buildup over time to be harmful 😬 There were studies in the past in which oral dosing of disodium edta caused some reproductive issues, but according to both the FDA and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel it’s safe to use in cosmetics and does not actually penetrate the skin. It is used for chelating (preservative). Chelating ingredients are used to bind to mineral deposits like metals in water, so that other ingredients are able to penetrate deeper into the skin. I intend to look for more peer-reviewed articles about this particular ingredient. At this point, I don’t know that I would purchase this product again. I like to be very cautious about what I put on my skin and put into my body, so - until I’ve read more about disodium edta and the risk, I will not continue to use it.
