In personal care
A mineral salt formed from calcium and gluconic acid, a white crystalline powder that dissolves in water. It is widely known in medicine as an injectable treatment for low blood calcium and for hydrofluoric acid skin burns.
Why it’s used
In cosmetics it functions mainly as a skin-conditioning agent and can also help buffer a formula's acidity or bind trace metals that would otherwise destabilize it.
What the evidence says
Calcium gluconate has an extensive history of medical use, including direct skin application for chemical burns, with no notable record of irritation at the concentrations used there. Cosmetic use is at much lower levels and has not drawn specific safety review attention.
