GreenGard™ PA12 is a high-performance, naturally derived chelating agent based on Phytic Acid and its sodium salts. As a sustainable alternative to synthetic chelators like EDTA, it is fully water-soluble and highly biodegradable. It functions by inactivating metal ions through the formation of stable, biodegradable complexes, ensuring the long-term integrity of complex cosmetic architectures.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Direct EDTA Replacement: Provides equivalent chelating power to EDTA while meeting modern “green” and biodegradable standards.
-
Oxidative Protection: Protects sensitive formulations against catalytic oxidation, preventing the degradation of active ingredients and ensuring color stability (anti-discoloration).
-
Surfactant Optimization: Improves the foaming performance and lather quality of surfactant systems, especially in hard water conditions.
