Creams, Oils and Ointments

Use of 0.01% VERSENE* chelating agent is quite standard in most emulsified and multiphase personal care products. Control of trace metal ions with VERSENE chelating agents can prevent discoloration, rancidity, and other undesirable metal-catalyzed reactions. Many products may also be protected from spoilage.

Discoloration and rancidity of lotions may be prevented with 0.2 to 0.5% (by weight) of VERSENE chelating agent.

In sulfide and sulfhydrate-containing products, 0.5 to 1.0% of VERSENE chelating agent may be used to prevent metal sulfide formation.
