Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Description

Harness the freshness-protecting power of Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate (GLDA), a plant-derived, readily biodegradable chelator made from the amino acid L-glutamic acid, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, handmade soap, and cosmetics. GLDA is the modern replacement for EDTA: it binds the calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper ions that enter formulas through water, botanicals, and packaging — ions that otherwise speed rancidity, discolor products, weaken preservatives, and form soap scum. In your custom serum, cream, toner, or cleanser, it boosts preservative and antioxidant performance so your formula stays fresher, longer. In your chelating or clarifying shampoo and color-protect haircare, it removes hard-water minerals that dull hair, weigh down curls, and fade color, restoring shine. In your handmade soap, it prevents rancid “orange spots” and hard-water scum, improving lather. In your cosmetics, it keeps colors and fragrance stable. Customize your cruelty-free formulation with a clean, biodegradable freshness booster. Caution: Not a preservative on its own — always pair with a primary preservative in water-based products.
