"I am not clear on how much of the 60% sodium lactate to add. If I have a total batch volume of 1000 ml (1 liter), then to have a final concentation of sodium lactate at 1% that would mean adding 6 ml of sodium lactate, IF the sodium lactate were at a 100% concentration. But since the sodium lactate is at a 60% concentration, does that mean I should add 16.66 ml of 60% sodium lactate?"

This is good to improve hardness in soap. Same thing for salt since it is also sodium.

Posted By: Jecci | Date: October 31, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

This will help create a harder bar of CP soap, as well as reduce the amount if shrinkage during curing.

Posted By: emmelou | Date: November 06, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

If you use salt, the soap can sweat profusely, especially in humid weather. Also, salt makes the bar look "gritty". I personally think it looks good, but not everyone feels that way. I have tried adding salt to the lye mixture and at trace...it turns out the same. I used 1/4c in 8lbs 8oz oil. I think sodium lactate is the answer if you're not looking for a bar that looks like it has salt in it.

Staff Answer Yes it can! Under the Review section for this product there are experiences of others who did this successfully.

Posted By: WSP Staff | Date: May 22, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Yes, it is an essential element to true "shaving soaps." Many use the hot process method to create the soaps because the sodium lactate will accelerate trace and can cause seizing during CP.

Posted By: Heather | Date: June 24, 2014

Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Yes! Sodium lactate in hot process soap in addition to full water helps the fluidity and consistency of your HP soap to make it smoother and more pourable.

"Can't soap without it"

COMMENTS: I quickly purchased this from a local distributor after I saw it on their shelves,no hesitation! No one can beat the price specially when buying in large quantities. I don't soap without it and it helps me maintain fluidity when doing HP besides facilitating a quick and easy unmolding in CP soap.

COMMENTS: I am a hobby CP soapmaker, and I always add sodium lactate to my soap in order to get a harder, longer-lasting bar. WSP's sodium lactate seems to be good quality and is significantly cheaper than the other supplier I had previously ordered it from. I would definitely recommend this product to other soapmakers!

"Thrilled with WSP's Sodium Lactate!"

COMMENTS: First of all, the price is simply unbeatable!!! Before a friend of mine referred me to WSP, I was spending close to $8 for an 8oz bottle of SL, and going through it FAST. I could not believe my eyes when I saw WSP's prices!! Sometimes you get what you pay for, but with WSP, that simply isn't the case... The SL is EXCELLENT quality, and is packaged with care to ensure product arrives intact! WSP has made it possible for me to make soap to my heart's content WITHOUT breaking the bank, and every single item I've ordered thus far has been top notch! I use Sodium Lactate at 3% in each of my CP recipes, and the results have been outstanding! Not only do I produce bars that are firmer & have more luxurious lather, but I'm also able to unmold from my silicone mold in half (if not less) the time it would normally take! This is a real plus for me, as it has increased my production considerably! It's also nice knowing that in using SL, I'm not adding any harsh chemicals to my products, as SL is a salt solution derived from the natural fermentation of sugars found in beets and/or corn. I will never purchase my Sodium Lactate elsewhere, as WSP has gained a customer for life! THANK YOU!!

COMMENTS: I love this Sodium Lactate as it helps my Cold Processed Soap come out without any effort, even after less than 24 hours. I use approximately 4% of Sodium Lactate of total oils. It also hardens my soaps faster and makes a firmer bar. I ran out of it once and I forgot how much I appreciate its properties as I had a very hard time unmolding my bars. I will order tons more so to never run out!

"A must have additive for cold process "

COMMENTS: I use sodium lactate in every batch of cold process soap! There have been a couple of times that I forgot to add this, I noticed the biggest difference when I cut the loaf. The soap was stickier without the sodium lactate. It has also been great for my lotion recipes, it reduces stickiness and thickens the lotion a bit. It was a lifesaver during the summer! With sodium lactate, I didn't have as much trouble keeping the lotion stable.

COMMENTS: I don't make soaps without it. I believe it helps with shrinkage during curing and makes for a harder bar that lasts just a bit longer than when Sodium lactate isn't used.

"A staple in our soapmaking endeavors!"

COMMENTS: We use sodium lactate in cold process and hot process soaps. In cold process soaps, the sodium lactate acts as a hardening agent, allowing us to unmold the soaps earlier without damaging the loaves. In hot process, sodium lactate helps to achieve a fluid texture, allowing us to incorporate swirls and other design elements in the hot process batter. We love this product!

"Excellent Quality and Price"

COMMENTS: This is such an excellent product, it helps tremendously in our CP soaps. We didn't use SL when we first started making CP and found that we had so many problems unmolding and a lot of our soaps wouldn't harden at all, we had multiple batches that just stayed soft. We knew our recipe was right and someone suggested we use SL. I wouldn't make a batch without it now. Why take a chance on an imperfect product when the SL hardens it and it removes easily from our silicone molds. Even our little embeds came out perfectly after using the SL. You might be able to get SL from some other places but we've found that this one is the best and the price for the product can't be beat.

"So many uses!"

COMMENTS: Most people use Sodium Lactate to harden their soap bars, but they are getting extra benefits by doing that. Sodium Lactate is used in the food industry for many things, including helping meat hold moisture. It does the same for your skin. It was hard to believe how smooth my HP bars were when I used this product. I used 5% in a shampoo bar that I could unmold in less than 6 hrs with no crumbling or sticking. Everything about it is very good for you and your products.

COMMENTS: If you are a CP soap maker or a HP soap maker you need to have this in your collection of must haves. When using silicone molds sometimes you can end up with soft soap. Sodium lactate is the solution as it helps to harden the bar while it is in the mold.

"Make a hard bar "

COMMENTS: I love this product. Great additive to your soap especially if you're using a silicon mold. The soap pops right out. Always check your soap first before taking it out of the mold. Because sometime it may take a day or two before it's ready. Also, I use 1tsp. per pound of soap, and mix it with your lye water after it has cool down. You will never go wrong. Will buy again.

COMMENTS: I was very impressed with how this product helps to increase hardness. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but am very glad I tried it. A little of this stuff goes a LOOOONG way. I had to really experiment with this stuff before finding the perfect amount. And I only use it in recipes where I have softer oils, not an "all the time additive". My notes show I was pleased with approx 3% usage, but again, I think everyone has to figure these things out on their own, based on their specific recipes.

"Great Product for a Harder Bar of Soap"

COMMENTS: I had been researching sodium lactate for use in my hair care products, so I ordered a 1 lb. from WSP. Although I haven't used it in any hair care products, as of yet, it has been used in all of my CP soaps since I received it @ about 1 to 1 1/2 tsps. per 44/45 oz. soap yield. The soap I've used it in has 2 more weeks of curing time but cutting the loaves containing the sodium lactate was smoother and the soap was firmer during cutting. This was noticeable and welcomed - soapers aim for a harder bar. Even though all soaps I've made using this product are still curing; they are hardening up as they cure. I haven't noticed much shrinkage either in these soaps. I probably should have waited to review this product after the soap totally cured but couldn't - I've noticed the positive difference in my soap already. I really like this product in CP soap and definitely will be purchasing more of it for use in my CP recipes. Thanks WSP for a great product at a reasonable price.

COMMENTS: If you have any problems with your CP soap sticking in silicone molds or liners, sodium lactate is a must! Added at 2.5% of total oil weight to my cooled lye solution and my soap literally slides out of the mold unblemished. Adds a nice amount of hardness to the fresh soap loaf and for a fully gelled loaf I can unmold and cut within 24 hours. I won't make soap without it now!

COMMENTS: I love a super hard bar, yet I have dry skin. I add 5% to lye water. It really speeds of trace when using hot process, more like instant trace. This produces a hard bar even with a 10% superfat. Along with 3% beeswax my bars have been lasting almost twice as long.

"Believe It!"

COMMENTS: I just recently began using silicone molds instead of wood for my cold process soaps. Even through full gel sometimes my soap would stay a bit sticky in certain areas of the mold. Sodium Lactate is supposed to create a harder, easier to unmold, soap. I have read rave reviews, but needed to try it for myself. I decided to add 2% Sodium Lactate to my recipes. After using it in multiple batches, I am now a believer. I can unmold sooner and my soap comes out unblemished!

	"A little goes a long way, and boy is it worth it!"
COMMENTS: A little surely does go a long way with this product. I was skeptical at first, but I will never make CP soap without 1-2% PPO of sodium lactate. Shrinking due to water loss can't be entirely eliminated, so don't expect miracles, but I've got soaps in my stock that have been there nearly over 9 months, and the wrappers are still tight! I wrap after a 6 week curing time. Soaps made without SL, at the same age, are slipping out of their wrappers right and left. With regard to firmness and increasing the bar's longevity, SL is a must. I have some highly conditioning castiles and shampoo bars, which, without SL, would disappear way too quickly, and be too dentable long after cure time. Sodium Lactate is a must for me!

COMMENTS: I use this in each and every single batch of CP I make. I don't know what I ever did without it! It creates of creamy texture in my soap and makes unmolding my soap within 24hrs or less easy. I use 13g PPO in every batch to my lye water without any issues. The lye water heats a little faster with adding it but that is not a problem or an issue. Just let it cool as usual and it soaps wonderfully.
