pH Regulation: Sodium lactate is used as a pH regulator in pharmaceutical products. It can assist in determining and adjusting the acidic or alkaline environment of drugs alongside other raw materials in their formulation. Stabilizer: Sodium lactate serves as a stabilizing agent in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. This property helps drugs maintain their stability under various environmental conditions, such as temperature and light. Enhanced Solubility: Sodium lactate may be utilized in certain drugs to enhance solubility and improve absorption from the digestive system. This property can contribute to the effectiveness and better absorption of drugs. Moisture Control: Sodium lactate is employed as a moisture-regulating agent in pharmaceuticals and medical products. This property aids in maintaining the physical and chemical characteristics of drugs.

• Skin Care: function as pH regulator and humectant • Cosmetic products: Commonly used as pH regulator • Hair Care: it can act as conditioning agent
