THE VITAMIN C?

ngredients: Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Betaine, Silica.

From this site

must be a way to crack the code of whats doing what without spending the 35dollars

EDTA is a ligand that forms a ring shaped compound with the hard water ions in hair so they can be rinsed out HTH>

ETA I accidentally right clicked on EDTA and all the other stuff came up. Not teaching chemistry here.

wouldn't Disodium EDTA and Sodium Gluconate both do the same?

I know that SG does bind to metals in water so its easier to filter the metals out. (but thats about all I know:lachen:)

I have to use a product like this one because of my water quality.

The Vitamin C keeps everything pH balanced.

The Disodium EDTA and Sodium Gluconate are the chelaters.

There is a product at Sally's by Ion that is the same without the surfactants (That SLS, although the one there is supposed to be a mild one).

It is in a little packet. I think it is called Clarifying Treatment or something like that.

I would like to know what that is. I'm going to look into that!
