SODIUM LACTATE is a valuable cream additive that is widely used in the cosmetics industry. This ingredient, known as natural moisturizing factor (NMF), is the sodium salt of lactic acid and has superior properties in regulating skin pH and moisturizing. SODIUM LACTATE, which is frequently preferred in skin care products, anti-aging creams and body lotions, is one of the indispensable components of cosmetic formulations in terms of maintaining the natural moisture balance of the skin and providing a soft texture. Proper packaging systems are critical for stabilizing and maintaining the effectiveness of this valuable cream additive
Properties of Sodium Lactate and Its Effects on the Skin
SODIUM LACTATE is the sodium salt of lactic acid, one of the skin's natural moisturizing factors. Since its pH value is between 5.0-6.5, it is compatible with the natural acidic structure of the skin and strengthens the skin barrier by stimulating the synthesis of ceramides that connect corneocytes (cells of the uppermost skin layer). SODIUM LACTATE, which has an important place among cream additives, has a mild exfoliant effect (removing dead skin cells) when used at concentrations of 2-5%, while it stands out with its strong moisturizing feature at concentrations between 5-12%. Thanks to its hygroscopic (desiccant) feature, it moisturizes the skin by absorbing moisture from the atmosphere and relieves dry, exfoliated skin problems.
The Importance of Packaging Selection in Cosmetic Products Containing Sodium Lactate
The effectiveness of cosmetic products containing SODIUM LACTATE is directly related to the right packaging solutions. Due to its hygroscopic properties, this valuable cream additive can interact with moisture and lose its stability in unsuitable packaging. In addition, airtight packaging should be preferred, as it is sensitive to oxidation. Appropriate packaging materials should be selected for sodium lactate to maintain its pH balance, as some packaging materials may affect the pH of the product and reduce its effectiveness. The plastic cream boxes produced by Özkamçı Plastik maximize the effectiveness and shelf life of cosmetic products containing SODIUM LACTATE by maintaining this delicate balance.
Packaging Solutions Offered by Özkamçı Plastik
Özkamçı Plastik offers superior solutions in the protection of cream additives with its high quality plastic cream boxes specially designed for the cosmetics industry. These packages, which have been developed especially to protect the effectiveness of sensitive components such as SODIUM LACTATE, minimize oxygen permeability with multi-layer barrier technology, while preventing the interaction between the product and the packaging thanks to the special coatings on the inner surface. Özkamçı Plastik products prevent light-induced degradation of SODIUM LACTATE with their UV-protected formulations and keep moisture transfer under control with their full sealing feature. Thanks to these properties, it retains the effectiveness of valuable cream additives for a long time.
Ideal Packaging Features for Cream Additives
Maintaining the effectiveness of cream additives used in the cosmetic industry is possible with the appropriate selection of packaging. To maintain the stability of active ingredients such as SODIUM LACTATE, the packaging must have UV protection, oxygen barrier, moisture control and pH stabilization. Özkamçı Plastik offers reliable solutions to cosmetic manufacturers with plastic cream boxes that meet these requirements. The packages produced by the company with IML (In-Mold Labeling) technology strengthen the visual identity of the brands with their high-quality printing features, while protecting heat-sensitive cream additives by providing thermal insulation with their double-layered wall structure.
