Copper Gluconate, otherwise known as Copper Gluconate, is an organic compound of copper and gluconate. It is an additive that contains the essential trace element copper. Fortifying foods with copper is essential for human health because this substance is essential for the body to function properly. Copper has several important functions in our body, for example, it is essential for the production of haemoglobin, certain enzymes and also for the production of melanin in the skin.

However, copper gluconate is not only used in the food industry. It is also used extensively in the cosmetics industry, where its nutritional and antioxidant properties often make it part of a wide range of products. The inclusion of copper gluconate in cosmetic products such as creams, face masks or serums promotes the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin elasticity and slowing down the ageing process. In addition, it is also used in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in the production of certain types of vitamins and dietary supplements designed to support the immune system and overall health.
