Sodium Lactate Solution 60% is an aqueous solution of sodium lactate, a salt of lactic acid, appearing as a clear, colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a mild odor. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and laboratory formulations for its humectant, pH-regulating, and skin-conditioning properties.
🏭⚗️ Production
Sodium lactate solution is produced by neutralizing lactic acid with sodium hydroxide under controlled conditions, followed by dilution to a 60% w/w concentration. The resulting solution is chemically stable, highly soluble in water, and suitable for various pharmaceutical and laboratory applications.
🔬 Properties
Sodium lactate solution is highly soluble in water, miscible with most aqueous solvents, and exhibits good buffering capacity. It functions as an effective humectant, helping to retain moisture in skin and topical formulations. The solution is chemically stable, non-irritating at recommended concentrations, and compatible with a wide range of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
🧪 Applications
In pharmaceutical formulations, Sodium Lactate Solution 60% is used in topical creams, lotions, and gels to provide moisturizing and pH-regulating effects. It can act as a stabilizer in emulsions and as a carrier for active ingredients, enhancing their solubility and bioavailability.
In laboratory settings, it is utilized as a humectant and pH-adjusting agent in experimental formulations, buffer solutions, and studies involving drug stability or skin-mimicking systems.
⚠️ Safety
Sodium Lactate Solution 60% is generally recognized as safe for topical and oral use in recommended concentrations. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic for most individuals. Standard handling procedures, including proper storage and hygiene, should be followed to ensure safety during pharmaceutical or laboratory use.
