Product Overview

what is sodium lactate
Sodium Lactate is a mild, natural, multi-functional cosmetic ingredient, the sodium salt of lactic acid. As a vital part of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), it is highly compatible with human skin. Cosmetic-grade sodium lactate is produced via safe fermentation and purification, featuring high purity, low irritation and excellent skin-friendliness, widely used in modern personal care formulations.
It acts as a premium humectant to attract and lock skin moisture, efficiently relieving dryness, tightness and flakiness for long-lasting hydration. Different from heavy glycerin, it delivers a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel. It also provides gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, smooth rough texture and brighten dull skin, ideal for sensitive skin intolerant to harsh AHAs. Besides, it functions as a reliable pH adjuster and formula stabilizer, balancing formulas to skin-friendly weak acidity, reducing active ingredient irritation and enhancing product stability. It also boosts preservative efficiency and strengthens the skin barrier to resist external damage.
Versatile and safe, sodium lactate is widely incorporated in toners, moisturizers, serums, cleansers, body lotions, hand creams and hair care products. Suitable for sensitive skin, pregnant women and infant skincare, it is a cost-effective, essential raw material for mild, hydrating and barrier-repairing cosmetic products.
