GreenGard™ PA12 are natural chelating agents that protect against oxidation by inactivating metal ions through the formation of biodegradable complexes. The presence of metal ions in cosmetic products can lead to catalytic oxidation, product degradation, and discoloration. Additionally, heavy metals can affect the foaming ability of surfactants, as well as the stability and consistency of emulsions.
