Sodium Gluconate – 50g

Sodium Gluconate 50g is a versatile ingredient for personal care, hair care and cosmetic formulations. It acts as a stabilising and chelating agent and can help maintain the quality and appearance of finished products.

Sodium Gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid. It works particularly well in water-based formulations, making it a useful addition to a wide range of DIY cosmetic products.

What Does Sodium Gluconate Do?

Sodium Gluconate helps stabilise cosmetic formulations by binding certain metal ions. This chelating action can help reduce the effects that metals may have on a finished product.

For example, trace metals can sometimes contribute to unwanted colour changes or other formulation issues. Sodium Gluconate can help minimise these effects. Therefore, it can help maintain a more consistent appearance during the product’s intended shelf life.

It can also assist with pH adjustment in suitable aqueous formulations. However, always check the final pH of your finished product and adjust it according to the requirements of your formulation.

Key Benefits

• Helps stabilise cosmetic formulations
• Provides chelating properties
• Helps prevent unwanted discolouration
• Supports formulation stability
• Can assist with pH adjustment
• Suitable for water-based formulations
• Useful in personal care and hair care products
• Easy to incorporate into the water phase

Suitable Applications

Sodium Gluconate works well in many personal care and cosmetic formulations. You can use it in products such as:

• Facial creams
• Body lotions
• Shampoos
• Hair conditioners
• Body washes
• Cleansing products
• Serums
• Other suitable cosmetic formulations

Its chelating properties make it particularly useful in formulations where you want to improve stability and protect the appearance of the finished product.

How to Use Sodium Gluconate

Use Sodium Gluconate at 0.1–1% in your finished formulation. Add it to the water phase of your mixture.

Ensure that the Sodium Gluconate dissolves thoroughly before continuing with the rest of your formulation process. The ideal concentration will depend on the product and the other ingredients you use.

After completing your formulation, always check the finished product’s pH. Make any necessary adjustments using a suitable pH adjuster.
