Sodium Lactate

Sodium Lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid, produced through the fermentation of a sugar source followed by neutralization. It functions primarily as an effective humectant, pH regulator, and water-holding agent in cosmetic, personal care, and industrial formulations. Commonly utilized in skincare products, soaps, and liquid cleansers, Sodium Lactate enhances moisture retention, improves product texture, and increases bar hardness in cold-process soap manufacturing.
