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, it’s water holding capacity is second only to Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), as referenced by the table below.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.

Gluconic acid is a mild organic acid, neither caustic nor corrosive and with an excellent sequestering power. Non-toxic and readily biodegradable (98 % after 2 days), it occurs naturally in plants, fruits and other foodstuffs such as (up to 0.25 %) and honey (up to 1 %). Gluconic acid is prepared by fermentation of glucose, whereby the physiological d-form is produced. Gluconic acid has versatile properties through being a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid, with both hydroxyl and carboxyl groups which can react.

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid in human nutrition because the body cannot produce it; therefore, it must be taken in either by diet or supplementation. L-Lysine was first isolated from casein (a milk phosphoprotein) in 1889. It was first introduced in the United States as L-Lysine hydrochloride in 1955. There was an interest in fortifying bread with L-Lysine to target populations with L-Lysine poor diets. However, the FDA refused to modify the standards of identity for white bread. Since 1970, L-Lysine has been commonly added to animal feed.

Sodium stearoyl lactylate is an edible material that has been used for decades in the meat-packing industry because it effectively forces cells to hold water.Sodium lactate is especially useful when creating soap that is palm free, or contains a high amount of soft oils. In the Palm Free in the Pot Swirl tutorial, adding sodium lactate would assist in unmolding. This is especially true for the Castile Cubes Tutorial, which is created with 100% olive oil. Castile soap is notoriously soft and requires a long cure time. Using sodium lactate makes these soap easier to unmold, which speeds up the drying process.
