Information
Sodium lactate is a powerful humectant and moisturizer widely used in skincare products. It is the sodium salt of lactic acid, a naturally occurring organic acid that is part of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor. Sodium lactate is known for its ability to attract and hold moisture, contribute to skin texture and the overall hydration of the skin.
Where does it come from?
Sodium lactate is derived from the fermentation of sugars found in corn and beets. During this process, lactic acid bacterium convert the sugars into lactic acid, which is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium lactate. This natural fermentation process ensures that sodium lactate is a sustainable and eco-friendly ingredient, compatible with the skin's natural composition.
Superior Moisturization: It is an excellent humectant, attracting and holding moisture in the skin. It can keep the skin hydrated, plump, and supple, making it particularly beneficial for irritated skin types.
Skin Barrier: By maintaining optimal hydration levels, sodium lactate strengthens the skin's barrier function. A vibrant skin barrier protects from environmental factors, such as pollutants, and irritants, contributing to hydration and overall skin vibrancy.
Exfoliation and Cell Renewal: As a derivative of lactic acid, sodium lactate has mild exfoliating properties. It promotes gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells, encouraging cell renewal and revealing smoother, brighter skin.
pH Regulation: Sodium lactate can regulate the pH of skincare formulations, ensuring they remain within the optimal range for skin vitality. Maintaining the correct pH level is essential for protecting the skin's natural barrier and minimizing irritation.
Skin Elasticity: Hydrated skin is more elastic and resilient. Sodium lactate contributes to skin elasticity, diminishing the signs of maturing skin and promoting a youthful, radiant complexion.
