supports the outer skin barrier, hydrates the skin
Great for anyone looking for a super moisturizer that protects the skin barrier and the NMF.
Emollients cover the skin with a protective film to trap in moisture. Emollients are often used to help manage dry, itchy or scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis. Sodium lactate soothes and hydrates by drawing moisture into the skin, making it one of the best face moisturizers for dry skin.
Since Sodium lactate is a natural component of the epidermis (top layers of skin), it's a vital part of your skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). The NMF is made up of electrolytes, sugars, and amino acids, as well as sodium lactate that all work together to protect the skin’s surface and keep it healthy and hydrated. The NMF deplets as we age so replenishing it with key active ingredients like sodium lacate, can help to preserve elasticity, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and keep skin smooth and supple.

The skin's normal pH is slightly acidic, typically between 4.75 and 5.5. It's important for skincare products to fall into that range, to ensure they don't irritate the skin or deplete essential oils and lipids making the skin more susceptible to acne or other issues. While not effective as a preservative on it's own, sodium lactate has anti-microbial properties that prevent bacteria from reproducing, so it can amplify the efficacy of natural and synthetic broad spectrum preservatives.
