Works great

"This lets me unmold my soaps a lot faster than I would be able to otherwise, I use it in almost all my recipes. It's easy to incorporate into my cooled lye water solution and at a usage rate of 1 tsp/ppo a bottle lasts a long time. Very happy with this."

Perfect Dupe For BBW!!

"I got a 4 ounce bottle just to try it, and it's a perfect dupe for the Bath and Body Works scent! I primarily use it to make shampoo and wallflower refills, but if the ever stop producing the body care line I'll be able to make my own lotion and soap as well."

— Jo (5/5)

— Scarlet (5/5)

Easy unmolding

Q&A

I didn't notice anything about temprature sensitivity. What is the highest temp I can add to products without compromising the sodium lactate? Thanks.: it is recommended to add it to your products at temperatures below 140°F
Is this vegan?: Yes, our Sodium Lactate is considered vegan.
i prefer using the heat transfer method to melt mt oils. is there any curve to using sodium lactate with this method?: Sorry, this is something we have not tested so you will have to research this.
I have made the 3 in 1 Mens Shampoo kit. I like it but the bars were very soft. Can I use sodium lactate to help harden the shampoo bars? And if so, what percentage? Thanks.: No, this is meant for CP soap only as far as we know.
When using sodium Lactate for lotion, do I add it to the water phase, oil phase or after cool down?: We have not used this in lotion, so this is something you will have to research and test.
