Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic Acid (HEDP), also recognized as Etidronic Acid, is increasingly employed in the cosmetics industry for its valuable chelating properties. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand the importance of high-quality ingredients that enhance formulation stability and product efficacy in personal care.

In cosmetic formulations, metal ions such as iron and copper can catalyze oxidation reactions, leading to the degradation of active ingredients, discoloration, and an unpleasant odor. HEDP acts as a chelating agent by binding to these metal ions, forming stable complexes and effectively neutralizing their catalytic activity. This process significantly improves the stability and shelf-life of cosmetic products, ensuring that beneficial ingredients remain potent.

By chelating metal ions, HEDP also contributes to the overall performance of cosmetic products. For instance, in skincare products containing sensitive ingredients like vitamins or antioxidants, HEDP helps maintain their stability, thereby prolonging their efficacy. It can also play a role in emulsion stability and viscosity control, contributing to a desirable product texture and feel.

The use of HEDP in cosmetics is a strategic choice for formulators aiming to create high-performance products that offer consistent results. Its ability to protect sensitive ingredients and maintain formulation integrity makes it a key additive in serums, lotions, cleansers, and other personal care items where ingredient stability is paramount.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies high-purity HEDP, meeting the stringent standards required for cosmetic applications. We are committed to providing the cosmetic industry with ingredients that ensure product quality, stability, and consumer satisfaction. By incorporating HEDP, formulators can develop advanced cosmetic products that deliver on their promises.
