GreenGard™ PA3 are natural chelating agents that protect against oxidation by inactivating metal ions through the formation of biodegradable complexes. Metal ions in cosmetic products can lead to catalytic oxidation, causing product degradation and potential discoloration. Additionally, heavy metals can impact the foaming ability of surfactants, as well as the stability and consistency of emulsions.
