Harmony Mists supplies a range of Chelating Agents & Stabilizers for cosmetic and personal care manufacturers seeking to improve formulation stability, ingredient compatibility and product performance. These functional ingredients play an important role in formulations where trace levels of metal ions, oxidation or ingredient interactions may affect product appearance, odour, colour or overall stability.
Chelating agents work by binding or complexing trace metal ions such as iron and copper that may be present in raw materials, processing water or other formulation components. By controlling these metal ions, chelating agents can help support formulation stability and reduce their potential impact on sensitive cosmetic ingredients.
Stabilizers are used to support the physical and chemical stability of formulations and may contribute to maintaining product consistency, appearance and performance throughout its intended shelf life. Depending on the chemistry and formulation system, stabilizing ingredients may also assist with compatibility and preservation-support functions.
Our portfolio can include EDTA-based chelating agents, organic chelators, multifunctional stabilizers and other formulation-support ingredients suitable for different cosmetic and personal care systems.
Key Product Categories
- EDTA-Based Chelating Agents – Ingredients widely used for controlling trace metal ions in aqueous and personal care formulations.
- Organic Chelating Agents – Chelating ingredients suitable for formulations requiring alternative or specific metal-ion control systems.
- Formulation Stabilizers – Functional ingredients used to support physical and chemical stability and maintain formulation consistency.
- Multifunctional Stabilizing Ingredients – Ingredients that can provide additional formulation benefits alongside their stabilizing or chelating functions.
