Functions

Chelating

Grabs onto metal ions in water that would destabilize the formula. Keeps your product from going bad or changing color.

Skin Protecting

Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.

Nourishes & Protects

Traditional Use

Derived from glucose, this salt was developed in the 20th century as a mineral supplement and skin conditioning agent. Used in modern cosmetics for hydration and as a potassium source for skin health.
