Zinc Gluconate
Zinc Gluconate is a water-soluble zinc salt commonly used in skincare for its potent sebum-regulating, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. By inhibiting 5-α-reductase, it helps control excess oil production and mattifies the skin, making it especially effective for acne-prone and oily complexions. Zinc Gluconate also soothes irritation by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α, accelerates wound healing, and supports the skin’s barrier function. As an antioxidant, it neutralizes free radicals and delays signs of aging, such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity, while its antimicrobial action helps prevent blemishes and promotes a clearer, more even-toned complexion. Non-comedogenic and well-tolerated, it is suitable for sensitive, oily, and blemish-prone skin types in creams, serums, and cleansers.
