Bulk Glucono Delta Lactone – GDL

The molecules in gluconolactone are larger than other acids; therefore, they don’t penetrate the skin as deeply, which makes it an ideal option for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin. Most commonly, GDL is used as a fruit acid. Fruit acids occur naturally in some fruits and vegetables, such as lemons, pineapples, and rhubarb. When applied to the skin, they generally help with exfoliation, cleansing, and the removal of dead skin cells. GDL is considered a milder alternative to salicylic acid and glycollic acid, which are also fruit acids. GDL helps by removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, leaving your face smoother and brighter-looking. A typical concentration is anywhere from 0.5% to 5%.
