Sodium lactate 60% can be used in a variety of products but is mostly used to make your cold-process soap bars harden faster. This allows you to remove it from the molds faster and be able to use it without the six-week curing time. When you are starting with cold process soaps be sure to always do a test run first as the addition of sodium lactate will make your bar harder, but it can slow down trace. Always add sodium lactate to cooled lye water only, ideally when it is below 130°. The rate of usage is 1 tsp sodium lactate to 1 pound of your oils.

Sodium lactate 60% is a food-grade liquid. It is made from the fermentation of sugars and then adding lactic acid to neutralize it.

Sodium lactate can be added to shampoo for haircare, shower gel, body wash, and lotion bases to increase humectant levels on the skin. This will give your products a softer feel and allow more moisture to remain on the skin. If you are making your own lotion base and are using a high amount of glycerin, try adding 1-3% sodium lactate to your formula to maintain the moisture level without feeling the stickiness of glycerin.

You can also use sodium lactate 60% in hot process soaps to make them smoother..
