INCI: Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Function: Chelator

Benefits: Preservation of formula

The Science: Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate (GLDA) is a vegetable-based chelating agent derived from the fermentation of corn or sugar beet. As a chelating agent it binds to metal ions to prevent them from altering the stability of the formula. GLDA also acts as a preservative booster to help ensure that the formula remains fresh and free from mold, yeast and bacteria.

The Story: Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate keeps the formula fresh and stable.
