Description

Potassium Lactate is a potassium salt of lactic acid, which is used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, pH regulator, and preservative enhancer. It effectively retains moisture in the skin's stratum corneum, softens it, and maintains its natural pH. It also helps improve the effectiveness of preservatives and stabilizes formulas. It is particularly beneficial in moisturizing creams, lotions, serums, shampoos, and gels.
