• Bar Hardener: 1–3% of oil weight for rock-solid, long-lasting bars
• Humectant Power: Attracts moisture — mix with shea butter to prevent dry, brittle soap in Aussie climates
• Easy Unmoulding: Add to lye water with coconut oil for clean, detailed designs every time

Other Creative Uses

Explore beyond soap with sodium lactate liquid — versatile for cosmetic crafts.

Q: Is sodium lactate liquid safe for soap making in Australia?
A: Yes — our 60% food-grade solution is TGA-compliant and widely used by Australian soap makers for safety and performance.

Q: How does sodium lactate make soap harder and longer-lasting?
A: It binds water and forms a crystalline structure in the bar, increasing density and resistance to mushiness — ideal for humid or high-water exposure.

Q: How do I add it to cold process soap recipes?
A: Dissolve 1–5% of oil weight (e.g. 10–50g per kg oils) into cooled lye water before adding oils. Stir well. Use 60% solution as-is — no dilution needed.

Q: Can it help with detailed moulds and designs?
A: Yes — promotes clean, easy release within 24 hours. Perfect for intricate silicone moulds and layered swirls.

Q: Does it ship across Australia?
A: Yes — delivery Australia wide in plastic jerry cans with tamper proof lid.

Q: What makes your sodium lactate unique?
A: 60% premium liquid, food-grade, no additives — consistent viscosity, pH-neutral, and shelf-stable for 2+ years.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin soaps?
A: Yes — acts as a mild pH buffer, reducing alkalinity. Pair with gentle oils for non-irritating, skin-friendly bars in dry or humid Aussie conditions.
