Glutamate Diacetate Tetra Sodium (GLDA): The Key to Milder, High-Performance Cosmetics

In the evolving European cosmetics industry, where safety, efficacy, and natural origin are paramount, ingredient innovation is crucial. This article explores Glutamate Diacetate Tetra Sodium (GLDA), a next-generation chelating agent, and its transformative role in advanced cosmetic formulations. We also highlight Yuanlian Chemical as a leading global supplier for this essential ingredient.

1. What is Glutamate Diacetate Tetra Sodium (GLDA)? The Premier Green Chelator

Glutamate Diacetate Tetra Sodium (GLDA), with CAS number 51981-21-6, is a readily biodegradable chelating agent derived from natural L-Glutamic acid. It effectively sequesters metal ions, a function that unlocks multiple benefits for cosmetic formulations, aligning perfectly with the demand for green chemistry.

• Enhanced Product Stability: Metal ions like calcium and iron can catalyse oxidation, leading to product discolouration, rancidity, and spoilage. GLDA effectively chelates these ions, significantly improving the shelf-life and integrity of your products.

• Boosted Preservative Efficacy: By inactivating metal ions that can deactivate traditional preservatives, GLDA helps maintain the potency of the preservative system. This allows for potential reduction of preservative concentrations, supporting "preservative-free" or "self-preserving" claims.

• Superior Cleansing Performance: In shampoos, face washes, and body cleansers, GLDA prevents hardness ions in water from interfering with surfactants. This results in richer, more stable foam and a noticeably improved skin feel.

• Exceptional Mildness & Safety: Sourced from a natural amino acid, GLDA is renowned for its excellent skin compatibility. It is extremely mild, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations, baby care products, and other rinse-off and leave-on applications where gentleness is key.

• Proven Environmental Credentials: GLDA is readily biodegradable and meets the highest standards for environmental safety, helping brands fulfil their sustainability goals and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
