Calcium Gluconate
Calcium Gluconate
Calcium Gluconate is the calcium salt of gluconic acid that is used in skincare as a skin-conditioning ingredient and formulation stabiliser. It helps support the stability of cosmetic formulations by interacting with other ingredients and can contribute to maintaining the skin's natural mineral balance. It is commonly found in moisturisers, serums, cleansers, and products containing gluconolactone or other polyhydroxy acids. Its primary role is to improve product performance rather than provide a direct active skincare benefit.
🛡️
Safety: Generally well tolerated by most skin types. It is considered a low-risk cosmetic ingredient and is unlikely to cause irritation at the concentrations typically used in skincare products.
