As the reputation implies Disodium EDTA is not a nice ingredient and should be banned. It is considered a persistent organic pollutant. It is known to cause negative reproductive and developmental effects. It has been shown to be mutagenic as well. And this is what we allow our young children to soak in....
Citric acid: This is in many skin care products especially in the anti-aging products as an alpha hydroxy. It acts as a chelating agent, fragrance ingredient, a pH adjuster, buffer and masking. It is not considered to be an environmental toxin, but there are concerns with broad systemic toxicity and skin irritation.

The general consumer should really start arming themselves with knowledge that way we can help to advocate for our health.
