Product Description
When making cold process soap, sodium lactate is added to cooled lye water. Lye water can reach temperatures up to 93°C. For soap making, its recommended to wait until the lye water has reached temperatures of 54 °C or below. Once the lye has reached optimal soap making temperature, the sodium lactate can be added.
The usage rate for sodium lactate is 1 tsp 450g of oils. Simply measure out the sodium lactate, and stir into the cool lye water. Be careful not to use too much; using too much sodium lactate will result in a hard, crumbly bar of soap.
