I ran across some information I wanted to share. According to IPCS (Institute of Personal Care Science), chelators are only to be used in certain circumstances. Do not use a chelating agent with:

water-in-oil emulsions 💣
ELECTROLYTE-SENSITIVE polymers💣
conditioners or cationic ingredients💣
if your product contains magnesium💣
if your product contains clay💣

A chelator helps your product stay fresher longer by making your preservative more effective. Some common chelators are Biochelate (Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate) , EDTA, Sodium Gluconate and Sodium Phytate.
