Glucuronolactone
Description
Glucuronolactone (CAS 32449-92-6 ), also known as D-Glucurono-6,3-lactone and D-Glucurone, is a naturally occurring compound derived from glucose metabolism. It is used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing as a functional ingredient. The compound offers antioxidant, moisturizing, and surface-active properties for various industrial applications. In energy drinks and functional beverages, it is included as an active nutritional ingredient often alongside taurine and caffeine. These formulations target cognitive and physical performance claims for the consumer market. Pharmaceutical formulators use it as a detoxification-support compound in tablet and capsule products for liver health categories. Its role in glucuronidation pathways supports specific product positioning in the health supplement sector. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in serums, creams, and toners. Its ability to attract and retain moisture improves skin feel and overall product stability. It also appears in topical formulations requiring mild surface-wetting behavior to improve ingredient distribution across the skin. This material is supplied as a white crystalline powder for industrial use. Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade ( USP / BP ) specifications are the most commonly traded forms for global manufacturers. Purity levels are typically at 98% or higher to meet strict regulatory requirements. Packaging ranges from small quantities for R&D sourcing to bulk bags for industrial-scale formulation and distribution. Contact us for supply of Glucuronolactone Request Quote
