sodium lactate
Sodium Lactate is the sodium salt of natural L-Lactic Acid and is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) constituent of skin. It therefore is a superior moisturizer, increasing the moisture content of skin by up to 90%. When compared to other commonly used moisturizers, it's water holding capacity is second only to Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid). It is a mild, multifunctional ingredient that offers the following benefits in skin care products:
- Reduces irritation potentail and increases efficacy of Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids
- Significantly increases and accelerates the action (particularly the skin lightening action) of Vitamin C and its derivatives
- Antimicrobial action helps facilitate product preservation
- Having a very slick, emollient, almost oily feel, Sodium Lactate can be used to reduce tack and improve skin feel of aqueous systems in which oils or esters could not be used
- Because of it's water binding capacity and emollient feel, makes a fabulous component of salon "cutting lotions" or detanglers
- Dramatically improved moisture content of skin even when utilized in rinse-off products.
