Chelating agents are used in almost all types of personal care formulations for increased effectiveness and improved stability. The use of these agents increases consumer acceptance. The chelation mechanism, described as a chelate complex, is based on multiple bonds (multidentate ligand) around a single central atom. Nowadays, the chelating agents on the market are almost exclusively water-soluble.
However, with the exponential growth of waterfree and waterless products, especially in toiletries, there is a real need for fat-soluble chelating agents.      Lipo-QUEST BG meets exactly this need, because Lipo-QUEST BG is an exclusive blend, with a natural index of over 0.85 (ISO 16128 standard).
