Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a PHA from corn, it is used to exfoliate the skin but has a larger molecule than the AHA group, making it less irritating than AHA (such as Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid).

When comparing PHA and AHA, PHA was found to exfoliate the skin more gently than AHA, not irritating the skin. It does not peel or burn the skin (redness/burn when used in appropriate doses). However, PHA has less exfoliation effect. Should be used in a formula that exfoliates as a secondary component. Such as skin care formula / general wrinkle reduction Who want to see results faster By accelerating the skin cell turnover Without wanting to cause skin irritation Or do not want the user to feel that the skin cells in the formula (if using AHA will feel when applied on the skin Such as a slight feeling like ants biting lightly).

Gluconolactone provided up to 50% protection against UV radiation and UV radiation-induced elastin promotor activation. Contrary to some scientific fears, it does not significantly increase sunburn cells in human skin.

Method of Extraction: Derived from gluconic acid that occurs naturally in fruits.

Gluconolactone Benefits

• Protection Against UV radiation and UV radiation-induced elastin promotor activation.
• Prevents Trans Epidermal Water loss.
• Deordorant Stabiliser.

Additional Specifications:

INCI Name : Gluconolactone

Usage: For all kinds of products Who want to exfoliate the skin

Mixing method: The formula should have a pH in the range of 3.4-4.5, if the pH is higher, the exfoliation efficiency will decrease accordingly.

Rate of use: 1-15%

pH: Do not use below 3.5. If PHA is used in high concentrations, you would have to control and adjust the pH value not lower than the FDA).

Product characteristics: A white powder that looks beady.

Solubility: Can dissolve in water

Storage: If you want to keep it long-term Keep it at room temperature Do not expose it to sunlight, heat, seal the lid tightly, and avoid moisture. Can be at least 24 months old.

NB: PHA has an acidity similar to AHA, therefore pH should be measured and adjusted accordingly in the formulation used.PHA will dissolve approximately 2 hours after dissolution in water, so it is best to wait for complete dissolution before pH measurement ( It takes about 120 minutes at room temperature, approx. 20-25 degrees).
