Copper Gluconate

Copper Gluconate Description

Copper gluconate is the copper salt form of glucuronic acid, which is a building block of hyaluronic acid. It helps transport water and other substances within skin.

Copper itself is a mineral that is an important trace element for human nutrition. The body needs copper to absorb and use iron, and copper is also a component of the powerful antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, which occurs naturally in the body.

In its raw form, copper gluconate is a crystal or powder with a light blue or blue-green color. In addition to its use in topical skin care, it is used as a dietary supplement to treat copper deficiency. It’s considered safe as used in cosmetics, where the typical amounts range from 0.001-1.0%.
