Caution
Sodium Gluconate (also called gluconolactone) is a naturally-occurring sodium salt of gluconic acid. Sodium gluconate is a chelating agent and a skin conditioner.
It helps to keep product formulations stable and protects product compositions for a longer period of time by retaining water content in the skin. It is a more natural and safer alternative to other synthetic chelating agents because it is produced from glucose. It's found in sunscreens, lotions, conditioners, face creams, and a variety of other products.
