GreenGard™ PA3 is a 100% naturally derived chelating agent based on Phytic Acid and its sodium salts. Engineered as a high-performance, sustainable alternative to synthetic chelators (EDTA/phosphonates), it is fully water-soluble and highly biodegradable. It functions by forming stable, biodegradable complexes with metal ions, effectively neutralizing their reactive potential in cosmetic and personal care architectures.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Sustainable EDTA Alternative: Offers a direct, 100% bio-based replacement for EDTA, providing powerful sequestration of metal ions while ensuring a superior environmental profile.
-
Anti-Oxidative Protection: Dramatically reduces catalytic oxidation triggered by trace metals, thereby protecting sensitive active ingredients and essential oils from premature degradation.
-
Color & Fragrance Stability: Prevents product discoloration and rancidity (off-odors) caused by metal-induced chemical reactions, ensuring long-term aesthetic consistency.
-
Broad-Spectrum Application: Enhances preservatives performance of both leave-on and rinse-off products
