Science & Benefits

Ferrous Gluconate is an organic iron salt used to improve skin vitality and oxygenation. It functions as a humectant by providing mineral ions that bind water to the skin surface. While non-comedogenic (rating 0), iron can act as a pro-oxidant in the presence of UV or oxygen. In a 'bulletproof' acne routine, this ingredient should be supported by antioxidants and chelators to maximize its hydrating and vitalizing benefits while neutralizing potential oxidative stress. It is a high-value mineral for 'gray,' fatigued skin that requires a boost in metabolic health and hydration.
