Calcium Gluconate (Calcium Gluconate)

Calcium Gluconate is a mineral salt of gluconic acid used in cosmetic formulations as a skin-conditioning and buffering ingredient that helps support formula stability and a comfortable skin feel. It can contribute to maintaining a balanced pH environment and is often included as an electrolyte/mineral source in products positioned for hydration, revitalizing care, or barrier-supportive concepts. In emulsions and aqueous systems, it may also assist with overall formula robustness by helping manage ionic strength and supporting compatibility with certain functional ingredients. Calcium Gluconate is commonly found in facial and body creams, lotions, serums, masks, after-sun products, and scalp or hair treatments where a gentle, conditioning profile is desired. Use level and performance are formulation-dependent and typically guided by the target sensorial profile, pH strategy, and compatibility with gelling agents, chelators, and preservative systems.
