Chelating agents are special ingredients that prevent and remove buildup in your hair by bonding with metal ions. These agents are crucial for maintaining clean, healthy hair.
The market has seen a rise in chelating shampoos, which contain higher levels of chelating agents to effectively remove buildup. In contrast, daily shampoos contain smaller amounts of these agents, primarily to prevent buildup rather than remove it.
To eliminate scalp buildup, physical exfoliants like salt or clay-based microbeads can be used. However, for hair, chelating agents are preferred as they work chemically and are more effective, though they can irritate the scalp if used frequently. It’s essential to scrutinize product labels and descriptions, as terms like “clarifying,” “detox,” and “purifying” are not standardized in the cosmetics industry.
Chelating treatments are intensive versions of chelating shampoos, often available in single-use formats to ensure proper dosage. These are potent, designed for less frequent use, and can deliver noticeable results after just one application.
In waterless products, chelating agents ensure consistent performance regardless of water chemistry. This is particularly important in areas with hard water, which can affect product efficacy, like reducing shampoo lather.
Widely used chelating agents in cosmetics include tetrasodium EDTA and tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine. Others like ascorbic acid, citric acid, and sodium oxalate are also common due to their effectiveness and compatibility with various ingredients.
Ruqinba recommered use MGDA, a natural and eco-certified alternative to traditional chelating agents like EDTA. This ingredient is 100% naturally derived and biodegradable, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.
