Science & Benefits

Gluconolactone is a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) with a large molecular structure that prevents it from penetrating too deeply or too fast. It functions as a powerful humectant (containing multiple hydroxyl groups) and a gentle chelator. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. It is the 'bulletproof' alternative for acne patients who cannot tolerate AHAs, providing the same exfoliating benefits and hydration without the associated redness or barrier disruption.
