On top of that, this ingredient can counteract the effects of hard water by binding to the minerals in it.

Clinical patch testing showed no significant skin irritation at typical use concentrations and minimal dermal absorption.
You'll most likely see this ingredient near the end of an ingredient list. It's typically found in concentrations less than 1%.
