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.
