Chelators are a common chemical substance, which played the following role in skin care products:
Metal ions Stable: Chelators can form chelated compounds with metal ions, thereby stabilizing the nature of metal ions. In skin care products, these metal ions are usually generated by impurities in water or react with other components. By using chelating agents, metal ions can prevent metal ions from adversely affected the quality and stability of the product, and extend the shelf life of the product.
Antioxidant: Some chelating agents have antioxidant performance and can help other components in skin care products to resist oxidation damage. The oxidation process can cause free radicals, damage skin cells, and accelerate the aging process. The antioxidant properties of chelating agents can help protect the skin from damage to free radicals and maintain the health of the skin.
Stable pH value: chelating agent can help regulate and stabilize the pH of skin care products. The pH value of skin care products refers to the measurement of its pH, which is important for maintaining the natural acid and alkali balance of the skin. The appropriate pH value can make skin care products gentle and more suitable for skin use.
Enhance product performance: Some chelated agents can interact with specific ingredients and enhance product performance. For example, chelating agents can be combined with certain active ingredients, delaying its release speed, and improving its permeability in the skin to achieve better results.
It should be noted that when using chelars in skin care products, relevant regulations and guidance should be followed to ensure that the ingredients used are safe and harmless, and correctly control the concentration of use, so as not to cause potential stimulation or allergic reactions to the skin.
