ℹ️General Overview
Glucose is very safe for adults to put on skin. It’s a sugar used to help skin hold moisture and is commonly found in lotions, shampoos, and cleansers. Reviews by government and industry groups find little to no risk for adult use.
✅What to Do
Use products that list glucose as intended (lotions, shampoos, cleansers) and follow the label directions. If you have sensitive skin, test a small patch first. For products meant for wounds or medical use, follow product instructions or ask a healthcare professional before use. Check the product label for other active ingredients that might cause irritation.
⚠️Warnings
Reviewers note limits on concentration, impurities, and certain product types (sources: U.S. FDA, Environment Canada, Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Avoid unregulated or homemade high‑concentration preparations. Stop use and rinse if you get redness, itching, or a rash. If you have a known corn allergy, check the ingredient source. Topical glucose is not expected to affect blood sugar, but for large open wounds or medical treatments, consult your doctor.
