Natural Chelator PA

Natural origin chelating agent for cosmetic formulations, helps increase the shelf life, stability and efficacy of cosmetic products. A natural alternative to EDTA, alcohol free.

Metals can enter a cosmetic formulation from the production equipment, as impurities from ingredients and from water. These metals promote oxidation reactions, may cause discoloration and impair the foaming properties of surfactants.

BENEFITS

• natural origin, biodegradable replacement for EDTA
• plays a crucial role in the stability and efficacy of cosmetic products
• effectively inactivating metal ions like impurities from ingredients e.g. extracts, pigments
• prevents discoloration, rancidity, and other undesirable metal-catalyzed reactions
• acts synergistically in combination with cosmetic antioxidants
• helps increasing the shelf life of cosmetic products
• maintains foaming properties of rinse-off products in presence of hard water
• is not sensitizing and does not contain genetically modified materials

USE RECOMMENDATIONS 

• cosmetic ingredient
• perfectly suitable for all kind of emulsions, rinse-off products and aqueous preparations
• for all types of formulations that are susceptible for oxidation reactions to protect valuable ingredients like unsaturated oils or fragrance components
• suitable for face care, body care, sun care, shower products, hair care, decorative cosmetics, hand & foot care, deodorants, soaps

FORMULATION GUIDE

• very easy to use
• combination with other antioxidants like tocopherol or ascorbyl palmitate is recommended to boost performance
• note the very low pH; for working with acid-sensitive raw materials, it is recommended to solve the chelator in water first, then to add the respective substances
• not recommended for W/O emulsions
• add to the water phase during every step in the production phase

SAFETY DATA

• cosmetic use only
• do not apply directly onto your skin, do not ingest
• for details refer to safety datasheet
