Chelating
Published on: 29/03/2025
CosIng Definiton: Forming complexes with metal ions which could affect the stability and/or appearance of cosmetics.
Chelating agents help stabilize cosmetic formulations by binding to metal ions that can degrade a product’s texture, color, or effectiveness over time. These metal ions, often introduced through water or raw ingredients, can trigger oxidation or reduce the efficacy of active compounds. By neutralizing them, chelators improve product longevity, maintain consistency, and enhance performance.
