Sodium Gluceptate
What Sodium Gluceptate is & what it does
Sodium Gluceptate is the sodium salt of glucoheptonic acid, a sugar-derived compound. In cosmetics it is commonly used as a chelating agent, binding trace metal ions that can otherwise degrade a formula or cause discoloration, which helps preserve stability and appearance. It works quietly in the background and has no notable effect on skin feel. It is generally regarded as safe and is used at very low levels.
