Sodium Lactate: natural part of the protective acid mantle

Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid . It is a natural component of the skin's acid mantle and is also used to regulate the pH of cosmetic products. Sodium lactate also has moisturizing properties.

Xeno products have a pH value that is adapted to the skin, as skin is slightly acidic and has a pH value of 5-6. This protects the skin from harmful influences.

Even though it is the salt of lactic acid, sodium lactate is usually vegan , because lactic acid is not only found in milk.
