Sodium Lactate Extract
Sodium Lactate has Humectant (moisture-retaining) and Anti-microbial (antibacterial) properties. It helps increase skin hydration by reducing water loss, making it suitable for dry, rough, and cracked skin. It also has mild skin-lightening properties and can be added to facial cleansers to help even out skin tone.
It is recommended to use together with Sodium PCA and Urea for maximum moisturizing efficacy, as all three ingredients are important components of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), which naturally occurs in healthy skin.
Usage : For skincare or cleansing products (such as soap) in all types of formulations, as it is water-soluble.
Usage Rate : 2 – 10% (3 – 5% is recommended. When used above 3%, it may help accelerate skin exfoliation, and sun exposure should be avoided when using it.)
Product Appearance : Clear liquid
INCI Name : Sodium Lactate
