Sodium lactate, when added to your Cold Process soap recipe helps to give a stable bar of soap with great lathering, a wonderful feel, and makes it easy to remove from your silicone mould. When used in lotions and cream also gives them a great silky feel when they are used, and its humectant qualities help to bind the moisture to your skin for better hydration.

Very happy with the value for money
I use sodium lactate in soap making. This is a good clean product
Great product I add 1 tablespoon per kg of soap. I use mainly soft oils. It’s a great product.
If you’ve ever had problems with soap sticking in your silicone moulds, this is your solution. I tried this after seeing a Little Green Workshop video on You Tube and it works like a dream. Just 1 teaspoon of sodium lactate per kilo of oils hardens the soap beautifully. It slides out of the moulds in perfect shape. An absolute must if you’re making palm-free soap. And my thanks to Gavin for not only doing the experiments to find this solution, but for sharing it on YouTube.
