Uses & Applications
Personal care
- Skin care products: Sodium lactate is a natural moisturizing factor, and a quarter of the ingredients in the stratum corneum of human skin are sodium lactate. Sodium lactate used in cosmetics can form a hydration film with other chemical ingredients to prevent skin moisture from volatilizing, keep the skin in a relaxed and moist state, and prevent wrinkles. It is widely used as a moisturizer for skin care products. L-Lactate acts as a next-generation skin lightening agent that produces synergistic effects when used in combination with other skin lightening agents.
- Soaps and body washes: Sodium lactate can be used as a moisturizer in various bath products, such as body washes, bar soaps, and body lotions. It can be used as a pH adjuster in liquid soaps, bar soaps and shampoos. In addition, adding to the bar soap can reduce the loss of water during storage, thus preventing the soap from drying out.
- Oral care products: high solubility and moderate taste make calcium lactate a very suitable calcium source for oral care products, which not only makes teeth healthy, but also has anti-tartar effect, and is widely used as an anti-tartar factor .
- Hair care products: Lactic acid is a natural component of hair. It can be used as a pH regulator in hair care products. Because it is milder than other pH regulators, it can adjust the pH to weak acidity and improve hair quality. Easier to comb.
