Sodium lactate's a liquid salt derived from the fermentation of sugars found in corn and beets.

Sodium Lactate is a sodium salt of racemic or inactive lactic acid with alkalinizing and electrolyte replenishing property.
Upon metabolism, sodium lactate is converted to bicarbonate, thereby increasing plasma bicarbonate, which facilitates removal of hydrogen ion and lactate from blood stream and leads to raised blood pH.

The sodium salt of racemic or inactive lactic acid.
Sodium lactate is a hygroscopic agent used intravenously as a systemic and urinary alkalizer.

Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of L(+)-lactic acid, obtained by neutralisation of the acid of natural origin with a high purity sodium source.
Sodium lactate is produced naturally by living organisms as a by-product of the glycolysis.

The sodium salt of lactic acid.
Sodium lactate's a great skin moisturizer and also used to regulate the pH value of the cosmetic formula.

Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of natural cosmetic grade lactic acid produced by fermentation of sugar from sugar beets.
Sodium lactate is produced via fermentation of bacteria.
The lactic acid bacteria is added to sugar, then fermented and filtered.
After filtration sodium hydroxide is added to buffer the product.
Sodium lactate is of highest purity, an active, safe, multi-functional ingredient, a natural constituent of the skin usable in a wide range of cosmetics and personal care formulations.
Sodium lactate is more bioavailable to the human body due to it’s being lactic acid based and the fact that lactic acid is the body’s natural alpha hydroxy acid.

When used in CP soap, Sodium lactate helps the soap harden more quickly, reduce shrinkage and release from the mold more quickly.
Sodium lactate is especially helpful in recipes that contain a higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, commonly found in olive oil.
There is no need to add Sodium lactate to recipes that contain a higher amount of saturated fatty acids (hard oils contain mostly saturated fats).
Sodium lactate’s humectant properties are enjoyed in lotions as it draws moisture to the skin.
Sodium lactate is heat-stable, meaning that it is not readily subject to alteration or destruction by heat.
It would take -50 degrees F to freeze the product, but it would still be able to be thawed and used.
Usage Rate in CP Soap: 1 tsp per pound of oils (PPO).
Be careful, if you use too much, the soap will become brittle.
Add to cooled lye-water (temperatures below 120 F and 49 C).
Usage rate in lotion: 0.5 – 4% added to the water phase.

Sodium lactate is a multi-faceted ingredient, known as a humectant moisturizer.
Humectants are highly effective skin-hydrators, which attract and bind to water from the atmosphere and the deeper layers of the skin.
This helps to prevent water loss and imparts a feeling of elasticity.
As a humectant, sodium lactate helps keep the skin hydrated and has been reported to improve the moisture content of the skin by up to 84%.

Another function of sodium lactate is that it works as a keratolytic agent, meaning it helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, contributing to its overall healthy functions and helping to improve skin concerns such as chicken skin, rough and bumpy texture, and dry, dull skin.
This multi-tasking ingredient can be found in numerous skincare products, including body wash, cleanser, body lotion, shampoo and conditioner.
Sodium lactate can increase skin hydration in both leave-on and rinse-off solutions.

This little known, but mighty ingredient is great for all skin types, but particularly beneficial for those who suffer with dry, dehydrated skin that has to work a little harder to retain its moisture.

What does sodium lactate do for the skin?

First off, this is the ingredient that thirsty skin craves.

Sodium lactate increases the efficacy of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s).
This means that combined with other ingredients, sodium lactate helps to further boost product absorption, smooth your complexion and hydrate the skin.
Sodium lactate also makes oils and butters less greasy and more moisturizing.
Sodium lactate dramatically improves moisture content of the skin, particularly when used in rinse-off solutions.
Functioning as a buffering agent, it helps to stabilize formulation’s pH by helping establish and hold the product, acting as a preservative.
By balancing the pH levels, this skin-loving ingredient is able to prevent the protective barrier from depleting and allows it to perform its daily function of protecting the skin from damaging pollutants.
Sodium lactate has further been known to brighten the skins complexion.

Sodium lactate is found in the stratum corneum of the skin and is the most cost effective, naturally occurring humectant available for use as a moisturizer.
Has slight skin-lightening effects.
Useful to adjust pH.
For bar soaps: hardens bar, reduces cracking, and increases moisture retention.

Sodium lactate is a natural humectant, moisturizer, and pH regulator.
For lotions, replace the liquid glycerin with sodium lactate.
In soaps, use up to 1/2 ounce per lb of fats to harden the bar.
Produced from renewable resources and completely biodegradable makes sodium lactate a better choice when moisturization is desired.
Studies have shown sodium lactate to be a better short term and long term moisturizer than glycerin.

Sodium lactate is less sticky when compared to liquid glycerin, so if you are trying to formulate to make a less sticky lotion, use sodium lactate instead of glycerin.

Sodium Lactate is used during manufacture of Cold process Soap and is optimally added to the cooled Lye solution which helps produce a much harder bar and the easy removal of the soap bar from the mould.
Sodium Lactate is a popular ingredient in Palm Free Soaps or Soaps with a higher than usual Vegetable Oil content.

A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar.
The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation.
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid, and has a mild saline taste.
Sodium lactate is produced by fermentation of a sugar source, such as corn or beets, and then, by neutralizing the resulting lactic acid to create a compound having the formula NaC3H5O3.

Studies have shown sodium lactate to be a better short term and long term moisturizer than glycerin.

Uses

Food industry
As a food additive, sodium lactate has the E number E325 and is naturally a liquid product, but also is available in powder form.
Sodium lactate acts as a preservative, acidity regulator, and bulking agent.

Despite the similarity in name, sodium lactate itself is not chemically similar to lactose (milk sugar), so need not be restricted by those with lactose intolerance.

Cosmetics and personal care products
Sodium lactate is sometimes used in shampoo products and other similar items such as liquid soaps, as it is an effective humectant and moisturizer.

Medical use
Sodium lactate is used to treat arrhythmias caused by overdosing of class I antiarrythmics, as well as pressor sympathomimetics which can cause hypertension.

Sodium lactate can be given intravenously as a source of bicarbonate for preventing or controlling mild to moderate metabolic acidosis in patients with restricted oral intake (for sodium bicarbonate) whose oxidative processes are not seriously impaired.
However, the use in lactic acidosis is contraindicated.

Sodium lactate may induce panic attacks in persons with existing panic disorder; up to 72% of individuals with panic disorder experience a panic attack when administered sodium lactate intravenously.
Sodium lactate may therefore also be used to confirm a diagnosis of panic disorder.

Chemistry and biochemistry
Sodium lactate is not chemically similar to lactose (milk sugar).

Production
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 non-dairy products.
Moreover, although the lactic-acid starter culture to ferment corn or beets may contain milk, sodium lactate does not contain milk protein and need not be restricted by someone avoiding milk or those with a milk allergy.
