Sodium Gluconate

DESCRIPTION:  Sodium Gluconate is the neutralized sodium salt of gluconic acid and is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its stabilizing and protective properties. It helps inhibit the growth of microbes, supporting product safety and extending shelf life when used as part of a preservation system. 
As an effective chelating (sequestering) agent, Sodium Gluconate binds metal ions found in hard water, improving the performance of surfactants and allowing cleansing products to foam and cleanse more effectively. This makes it an excellent addition to shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, liquid soaps, and other rinse-off formulations. 
Its versatility and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients make Sodium Gluconate a valuable component in modern formulations focused on stability, performance, and consumer safety.
