How to Mix Sodium Lactate with Water

Based on the product information for Sodium Lactate (60% Liquid, Natural), this ingredient is typically supplied as a liquid solution that is 60% Sodium Lactate and 40% water. This means the 50 grams you have already contains both Sodium Lactate and water.

The amount of additional water you need to add depends entirely on the specific cosmetic formula you are creating and the desired final concentration of Sodium Lactate in that formula. Sodium Lactate is commonly used at a concentration of 2-10% in finished products.

To determine how much water to add, you first need to decide:

1. The total weight of your final product (e.g., 100 grams, 200 grams).
2. The desired percentage of Sodium Lactate in your final product (e.g., 3%, 5%).

Once you have these values, you can calculate the amount of the 60% Sodium Lactate solution needed and the remaining amount of water and other ingredients.

For example, if you want to make 100 grams of a cream with 5% Sodium Lactate:

• You need 5 grams of pure Sodium Lactate in the final product.
• Since your product is a 60% solution, you would need (5 grams / 0.60) = 8.33 grams of the Sodium Lactate (60% Liquid, Natural) solution.
• The remaining amount (100 grams - 8.33 grams - weight of other ingredients) would be water and other components of your formula.

Therefore, there is no single answer for how much water to add to 50 grams of Sodium Lactate without knowing your target formula and desired concentration. Always refer to recommended usage rates for your specific application.
