Gluconolactone (PHA)

Gluconolactone is a poly hydroxy acid (PHA). PHAs are made up of larger molecules than other exfoliating acids, such as glycolic acid, meaning they do not penetrate into the skin as deeply and instead work to exfoliate the surface of the skin while being extremely gentle. They also attract water molecules, infusing skin with hydration during exfoliation.
