Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by inhibiting the proliferation of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, thereby extending product shelf-life. It acts as a chelating agent to bind metal ions that can compromise product stability, and reduces malodors through its deodorizing action. Additionally, it helps to retain moisture as a humectant, decreases product transparency as an opacifying agent, and offers protection against ultraviolet light degradation for the product itself.
