Sodium Lactate

Sodium Lactate is manufactured by neutralizing lactic acid with sodium hydroxide. This process involves combining lactic acid, obtained through fermentation or chemical methods, with sodium hydroxide to create Sodium Lactate. The resulting sodium salt is then purified for use in cosmetics and personal care products.

Sodium Lactate is a common ingredient used in cosmetics and personal care products. It acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, promoting hydration and preventing dryness. Additionally, Sodium Lactate can function as a pH regulator, helping to stabilize and adjust the pH of formulations.
