General Description:

Sodium Gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, a naturally derived compound produced through the fermentation of glucose. It appears as a white, crystalline powder and is highly water-soluble. Known for its chelating, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, Sodium Gluconate is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is especially valued for its ability to bind metal ions, thereby enhancing the stability and performance of products. Available for wholesale and bulk supply, Sodium Gluconate is a multifunctional ingredient suitable for natural, eco-friendly, and high-performance formulations.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry:

Sodium Gluconate is used in a wide range of cosmetic applications, including:

As a chelating agent to improve product stability by binding trace metal ions that could degrade formulas.
In shampoos and cleansers to enhance foaming and cleansing efficiency, especially in hard water conditions.
In skincare products such as creams, lotions, and serums to stabilize active ingredients and improve skin feel.
In oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash for its mildness and ability to support formulation integrity.
Its natural origin and biodegradability make it a popular choice for clean and green beauty brands.

Side Effects & Hazards:

Sodium Gluconate is generally recognized as safe and non-toxic for use in cosmetics. It has a low irritation potential for both skin and eyes and is suitable for sensitive skin formulations. However, as with any raw material, it should be handled with care during manufacturing. Dust generation should be minimized, and protective equipment such as gloves and masks should be used to prevent respiratory or skin irritation. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers to maintain quality and prevent clumping due to moisture absorption.
