What is Sodium Gluconate?
Sodium Gluconate is produced by the fermentation of glucose. It is used in cleaning products for its binding ability, in food as a preservative, and in pharmaceuticals as a stabilizer.
Why do we use it in our products?
- Chelating Agent: Sodium gluconate acts as a chelating agent, binding to metal ions in water and preventing them from interfering with the cleaning process.
- Mild Surfactant: It is a mild surfactant that helps to lift dirt and grime from surfaces, making it easier to clean.
- Skin-Friendly: Being gentle on the skin, it is suitable for use in personal care and cleaning products.
- Eco-Friendly: Sodium gluconate is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Is it safe? Is it non-toxic?
Yes, it is considered safe and non-toxic when used in moderation and handled according to safety guidelines.
In summary
Sodium Gluconate is plant based, biodegradable, and eco-friendly. Its inclusion in our products reflects our commitment to sustainable business practices.

We invite you to do your own research!
Scientific journals and articles are the foundation of evidence-based decisions at Rustic Strength. Blogs can provide helpful information. However, if it cannot cite scientific articles, its claims stand on little.
