Gluconic Acid

Science & Benefits

Gluconic Acid is a mild organic acid produced by the fermentation of glucose. It functions as a powerful humectant and chelating agent, binding to heavy metals that can trigger oxidative stress in the skin. It is entirely non-comedogenic and zero-irritant. In an acne-prone routine, it provides a 'shield' against the minerals in hard water that often cause breakouts and irritation, while providing the base-level hydration required for healthy cellular turnover.
