In the vast world of natural cosmetics and soap making, questions about specific ingredients constantly arise. Today, we will delve into the fascinating universe of Sodium Lactate, an essential compound that is revolutionizing the way we take care of our skin and hair.
What is Sodium Lactate?
Sodium Lactate is a sodium salt derived from L-lactic acid. It is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates and stands out for being highly soluble. In the cosmetic and soap field, this component has gained popularity thanks to its capacity as a humectant, that is, it retains moisture and provides it to the skin.

Our ECOCERT Sodium Lactate has a dilution of 60%, which indicates that 60% is Sodium Lactate and the remaining 40% is water. This level of concentration is ideal for various uses in cosmetics and soap making.
Production of Sodium Lactate
The ECOCERT Sodium Lactate that we offer is produced through carbohydrate fermentation. It is a high-quality salt, and as a key component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), it provides hydration you can trust. Its use has spread as an alternative to glycerin due to its lower viscosity and its effective ability to retain water.
