dermofeel® PA is a natural chelating agent and serves as a natural alternative to EDTA. It effectively inactivates metal ions by forming a complex between the chelator and the metal. Metal ions can enter a cosmetic formulation through the production equipment, as impurities from ingredients (e.g. extracts, pigments), and through process water. In cosmetic products, these ions can promote oxidation reactions, may cause discoloration, or impair the foaming properties of surfactants.

This chelating agent can be added to the water phase during every step in the production phase. To boost performance, it can be combined with other antioxidants such as dermofeel® Toco 70 non GMO or dermofeel® AP MB. dermofeel® PA is COSMOS and ECOCERT approved.
