Functions
Many food manufacturers add sodium lactate to their products because the salt acts as a preservative, preventing bacteria and fungi from growing. It is also used by the cosmetic industry as a water retainer in lip balm, facial cream, soap, shampoo, body lotion and eye drops. Sodium lactate absorbed through food consumption does not have any side effects in adults. It is not recommended for infants or young children.
Sodium L-lactate is used as a food additive, preservative, acidity regulator and bulking agent. It finds application in shampoo and liquid soaps and other related products. It acts as an effective humectant and moisturizer. It is used in the treatment of arrhythmias.
