Gucuronic acid, also known as glucuronic acid, is an oxidation product of D-glucose and is one of the sugar acids. The substance is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as a moisturizer (preserves the moisture of the skin), chelating agent (forms complexes with metal ions which could influence the stability and/or appearance of cosmetic products) and buffering substance (stabilizes the pH value).
