Phosphonates

Phosphonates are a class of synthetic compounds used in cosmetics primarily as chelating agents. They help to bind metal ions, which can improve the stability and efficacy of formulations by preventing unwanted reactions. This also helps to maintain the clarity and appearance of products over time.
