* "Chelate agent" is ….
an additive used to prevent deterioration of quality of a cosmetic, such as oxidation of oil by metallic ion, change of fragrance and change of color. Sodium of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is used the most. However, this is one of the toxic compounds listed in the "Class 1 designated chemical substance"
