Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that provides gentle exfoliation for the skin. It helps to slough off dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and more even skin texture. Gluconolactone also acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, resulting in improved hydration levels. Additionally, it functions as a pH adjuster, helping to maintain the optimal pH balance of the skin. Gluconolactone has antioxidant properties, protecting the skin against free radicals and supporting skin repair processes.
