Gluconic Acid Applications (Uses & Benefits)

Antimicrobial
Gluconic acid has antimicrobial properties, which helps preserve cosmetic products like creams and lotions. It also helps in preventing bacteria and fungi growth.
Chelating Agent
As a chelating agent, it prevents discoloration and preserves the efficacy of the formulation.
Exfoliant
Gluconic acid acts as a mild exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. This promotes a smoother and more radiant complexion. It is gentler compared to other exfoliating acids like glycolic or salicylic acid, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
Humectant
Gluconic acid functions as a humectant. It attracts moisture to the skin, which helps to keep it hydrated and improves its overall appearance and texture.
pH Regulator
Gluconic acid is often used to adjust and stabilize the pH of cosmetic and personal care formulations, which is crucial for the effectiveness and safety of these products.
Stabilizer
Gluconic acid can be used as a stabilizer, ensuring the product maintains consistency and effectiveness over time.
