Sodium Gluconate
Sodium Gluconate
A sugar-derived chelating agent and mild humectant that helps keep formulas stable while being gentle and biodegradable.
What it does
Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, made from glucose. It acts as a chelator, binding trace metal ions to keep a formula stable and well-preserved, and it can lend a touch of water-binding humectancy. It is biodegradable and well tolerated, which is why it appears in formulas aiming for a gentle, naturally-positioned ingredient deck. It is a stability helper rather than an active.
