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.
