Hydroxypropylammonium Gluconate

Obtaining:
It is a gluconate salt derived from gluconic acid (typically obtained from the oxidation of glucose) in which the counterion is hydroxypropylammonium. This salt form increases its affinity for water and facilitates its incorporation into aqueous formulas as a functional agent for hydration and comfort.

Benefits:
Acts as a humectant and conditioning agent: helps capture and retain water, improving hydration and softness of the skin and/or hair fiber. In hair care, it can contribute to a silkier and less coarse feel (especially in dehydrated hair), and in skincare products, it provides comfort and a sensation of more flexible skin. It is used to enhance hydration with a pleasant sensory profile, supporting the feeling of prolonged hydration.
