Regarding milk
Despite the similarity in name, E325 (Sodium lactate) is not chemically similar to lactose (milk sugar), so need not be restricted by those with lactose intolerance.
In general, lactates such as sodium, calcium, and potassium lactate are salts derived from the neutralization of lactic acid and most commercially used lactic acids are fermented from dairy-free products such as cornstarch, potatoes, or molasses.
Sugar or tapioca additionally may be used.
In some rare instances, some lactic acid is fermented from dairy products such as whey and lactose.
Whey is made of up 6.5% solids of which 4.8% is solid lactose.
Waste whey is infrequently used to produce lactic acid when the whey itself is produced as waste during the manufacture of certain dairy products.
Such dairy-type lactic acid generally goes back into dairy products, such as ice cream and cream cheese, rather than into nondairy products.
Moreover, although the lactic-acid starter culture to ferment corn or beets may contain milk, E325 (Sodium lactate) does not contain milk protein and need not be restricted by someone avoiding milk or those with a milk allergy.

E325 (Sodium lactate), also known as mediject L or E325, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acid salts. These are ionic derivatives of carboxylic acid.
E325 (Sodium lactate) is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
E325 (Sodium lactate) is an odorless tasting compound.
What is E325 (Sodium lactate)?
E325 (Sodium lactate) is a naturally occurring humectant derived from the salt of Lactic Acid.
Despite the similar name, E325 (Sodium lactate) and Lactic Acid have very different chemical formulas; however what they do have in common is their excellent humectant properties.
Fade Out has specifically combined these ingredients in our formulations to provide the ultimate moisturisation.
E325 (Sodium lactate) is a natural component that can be found within the upper layers of your skin and contributes to the skins Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF).
The NMF helps to keep your skin hydrated, supple and smooth by maintaining hydration levels.
What does E325 (Sodium lactate) do?
E325 (Sodium lactate) is a superior humectant moisturiser with over twice the water holding ability than Glycerin.
It replenishes moisture by attracting and retaining water within the skin, preventing it from becoming dehydrated, dry and flaky.
Some studies have shown that using E325 (Sodium lactate) can increase the moisture content within the skin by a minimum of 84%.
E325 (Sodium lactate) also acts as a buffering agent which works by balancing the formulations pH levels to maintain healthy skin.
The normal pH for your skin ranges from pH 4 to 6; when this is out of balance and too acidic or alkali, it can cause sensitivities and depletes the skin of its natural protectant barrier.
The skins natural barrier is essential to maintain its daily functions, whilst preventing water from being lost, and protecting it from harmful pollutants.
Benefits of E325 (Sodium lactate) for your skin
Whilst Hyaluronic Acid still holds its place as the number one ingredient for moisturisation, E325 (Sodium lactate) follows closely behind.
Its ability to attract water and prevent it from evaporating prevents and protects the skin from becoming dehydrated to help your skin look and feel soft, smooth and radiant with a healthy looking glow.
Intensely hydrates dry and dehydrated skin
Retains water to refine and nourish the complexion.
Prevents moisture loss
Brighten the complexion with a healthy, hydrated glow

Acting as a powerful antibacterial and effective humectant, E325 (Sodium lactate) solution 60% is excellent for an array of different cosmetic applications.
A natural humectant, E325 (Sodium lactate) also displays strong antibacterial properties. Especially useful in hot process soap making as it helps to maintain fluidity of the cooked soap and harden the final bars.
E325 (Sodium lactate) is also used effectively in skin care products to supplement the skin's own naturally occurring E325 (Sodium lactate) and boost moisture retention. Often added at the water phase of a cosmetic formulation.
E325 (Sodium lactate) is found naturally in the stratum corneum of human skin.
When manufactured, E325 (Sodium lactate) is most often produced through the fermentation of a source of sugar — for example, beets or corn.
The compound is subsequently derived by neutralizing the isolated lactic acid that results from the fermentation process.
