In making natural soap, sodium lactate is a liquid salt that can be added to cooled lye water to speed up unmolding time. Using sodium lactate produces harder, longer-lasting bars of cold-process soap. Derived from the natural fermentation of sugars found in corn and beets, sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid.

While in making skincare, sodium lactate helps to improve the stability of a formulation but also has the added benefit of pulling water-based moisture into the skin. The main functions of sodium lactate are as a preservative enhancer, buffering agent, and humectant moisturizer.
