Sodium Lactate is the natural salt derived from a natural fermentation product, lactic acid. It is naturally produced in the skin, also occurs naturally in all animal and human muscle tissue.

Sodium Lactate is a liquid salt that is naturally derived from the natural fermentation of sugars found in corn and beets. In food, Sodium Lactate may be used as a preservative, acting as an inhibitor of bacteria growth. Because Sodium Lactate is a salt, it is a natural humectant, providing moisture. This makes it a great additive to lotions, typically replacing glycerin in the recipe.
Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA) is a naturally occurring component of human skin and a plays an important role in maintaining the skin’s moisture level. It attracts moisture from the air and helps contributed a smooth feeling to hair and skin.

It is stable in sunlight and is rapidly biodegradable. It has antioxidant properties.
