Sodium gluconate
Sodium gluconate
Sodium Gluconate is a naturally derived ingredient from glucose that is commonly used as a chelating agent in skincare and haircare products. It helps stabilize formulations by binding to metal ions that can otherwise affect the product's effectiveness and shelf life. Sodium Gluconate also has moisturizing properties and helps maintain the skin’s natural balance. It is a gentle, non-irritating ingredient that is ideal for sensitive skin, providing hydration while ensuring that the other ingredients in a product work more effectively.
