Caprylhydroxamic Acid (CHA)

Caprylhydroxamic Acid (CHA) by Beijing Lemerry Biotech is an anti-bacterial and chelating agent. Inhibits the activity of metal ions and extends the shelf life of product as it can chelate with harmful metal ions in raw materials or water.

• Provides effective inhibition of mold, good compatibility and acts as an alternative to traditional preservatives.
• It is recommended to add EDTA-2Na in the formulation because CHA can react with Fe3+ and cause discoloration.
• It should not be mixed with copper peptides as it will chelate copper ions and form a flocculent which will turn the solution from blue to green.
• Caprylhydroxamic Acid (CHA) can be used in cleansers, lotions, eye creams, facial masks, makeup, lip care, shampoos and wet wipes.
