Description

Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid. It occurs naturally in the skin as part of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) required in the maintenance of natural hydration. It is a significantly stronger humectant than vegetable glycerin, with over twice the water holding capability. It is an extremely effective humectant, helping to strengthen the skin moisture barrier. It is a superior moisturizer, increasing the moisture content of skin by up to 84%. When compared to other commonly used moisturizers, it’s water holding capacity is second only to Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid). It is also known to have a slight skin-lightening effects.

Sodium lactate can be added to cooled lye water in order to speed up unmolding time. Using sodium lactate produces harder, longer-lasting bars in cold process soap, It also hardens bar, reduces cracking, and increases moisture retention. Sodium lactate is commonly used in cosmetics as a preservative, exfoliant, and humectant. Sodium lactate is also commonly used in food products as a preservative.

Our sodium lactate with 80% concentration in water, is the sodium salt of natural L(+)-Lactic Acid, produced through the fermentation of sugar, an alpha hydroxy acid that occurs everywhere in nature and is biodegradable.
