Tetrasodium pyrophosphate

Tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP) is a synthetic ingredient used in cosmetics for various purposes, including buffering, chelating, and oral care applications. It helps to stabilize formulations, control pH, and bind metal ions that could negatively affect the product’s stability. While generally considered safe in cosmetic concentrations, it can be an irritant in high concentrations or in sensitive individuals.
