Is this safe for adults to use Gluconolactone?
ℹ️General Overview
For adults: Gluconolactone is a mild, gentle exfoliant and skin moisturizer. When used in normal cosmetic products it is considered very low risk for adults.
✅What to Do
Use products that contain gluconolactone as the label directs. Avoid getting it in your eyes. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on your inner arm before using broadly. Stop use and rinse with water if you get stinging, burning or redness.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for eye irritation and skin irritation at higher concentrations (European Chemicals Agency; peer‑reviewed studies). Some lab tests on microbes showed mutation results (EPA), but reviews find it unlikely to be mutagenic in people (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some product verification standards may restrict its use without supporting safety data. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have serious skin conditions, check with your healthcare provider before starting new active skincare.
