pH Adjusters/Chelating Agents (Cosmetic Ingredients)

pH adjusters are used to maintain the appropriate pH level of cosmetic products.
Chelating agents are added to inactivate metal ions that may enter the formulation and cause product degradation.
By stabilizing the pH and neutralizing trace metals, these ingredients help preserve product quality and extend shelf life.
