Sodium Lactate, a 60% concentration in water, and is the sodium salt of natural L(+)-Lactic Acid, produced through the fermentation of sugar, an alpha hydroxy acid that occurs everywhere in nature.

Sodium Lactate is one of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) constituent of skin, required in the maintenance of natural hydration.

Sodium Lactate is a superior moisturizer, increasing the moisture content of skin by up to 84%.

When compared to other commonly used moisturizers, its water holding capacity is second only to Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid).

Sodium Lactate is an edible material that has been used for decades in the meat-packing industry because it effectively forces cells to hold water.
