Product Info:

Sodium Lactate is a highly effective humectant and natural moisturizer derived from lactic acid. It helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, improving hydration and softness. In cosmetic formulations, it enhances skin barrier function, improves product spreadability, and acts as a pH buffer. It is commonly used in lotions, creams, serums, and soaps to provide lasting hydration and mild exfoliation.

Formulation Guidelines:

• Add to the water phase of formulations
• Works well in hydrating serums, lotions, body creams, and cleansers
• Helps to extend the shelf life of cold-process soaps by enhancing hardness
• Avoid using in very high concentrations, as it may cause a sticky feel
