tetrasodium glutamate diacetate

 

what is it?

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is a clear chelating liquid and preservative enhancer that is made from plant material and is biodegrable. Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is based upon L-glutamic acid, a natural and renewable raw material.

what does it do?

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate is a non-irritating, naturally-derived alternative to EDTA, which has greater health concerns in topical cosmetic use formulas. Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate stablizes pH levels in emollients. However, its primary purpose is to boost the effectiveness of other preservatives so their required use concentrations declines while still remaining equally effective. Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate allows BRAHSTON to use less preservatives and artificial ingredients so we can put more of the good, healthy and natural stuff in our products.
