Concern level
Moderate concern
Disodium salt of diglycolic acid (oxydiacetic acid). It is a small, water-soluble inorganic-organic salt, but it is not a common mainstream cosmetic active and has limited publicly available cosmetic formulation data compared with better-known alpha hydroxy acid salts.

Interactions
incompatible with: Potentially incompatible with formulations that require precise pH control unless stability testing confirms otherwise, Avoid assuming interchangeability with glycolic acid or sodium glycolate, Limited public data; test compatibility with strong acids, strong bases, and cation-sensitive systems
Risks & Warnings
Public cosmetic safety and usage data are limited. As a salt of a dicarboxylic acid, it may contribute to formula acidity or buffering depending on concentration, but there is not enough evidence to assign specific skin-benefit claims. May cause mild irritation in compromised skin if used in an acidic or high-salt formula.
