General Description
NANOACTIV MOIST, also known as Sodium Lactate, is a naturally derived humectant and moisturizer obtained through the fermentation of sugars such as corn or beet. It is the sodium salt of lactic acid and is well-known for its excellent water-binding capacity, making it one of the most effective natural moisturizers used in cosmetics. NANOACTIV MOIST helps maintain the skin’s natural hydration balance, improve elasticity, and enhance product smoothness. It is biodegradable, skin-friendly, and suitable for use in both rinse-off and leave-on formulations.
Uses in the Cosmetics Industry
NANOACTIV MOIST is widely used across skincare, haircare, and body care formulations for its multifunctional benefits:
- Moisturizers & Lotions: Deeply hydrates and softens the skin while improving its natural moisture barrier.
- Cleansers & Body Washes: Helps prevent dryness by replenishing moisture lost during cleansing.
- Hair Care Products: Enhances hair moisture, reduces static, and improves manageability.
- Anti-aging & Brightening Serums: Supports smoother, plumper skin texture by maintaining hydration.
- Bath & Body Products: Provides a long-lasting moisturizing effect, leaving skin soft and supple.
Due to its natural origin and strong humectant properties, NANOACTIV MOIST is often preferred over synthetic moisturizers in clean beauty and natural formulations. It is available in bulk for manufacturers looking to improve the sensory feel and hydration profile of their products.
Hazards
NANOACTIV MOIST is considered safe and well-tolerated in cosmetic use, but standard precautions apply:
- Skin Sensitivity: Rarely, high concentrations may cause mild irritation, especially on sensitive or damaged skin.
- Eye Contact: Direct contact with eyes may cause slight irritation; avoid inclusion in eye-area formulations unless tested for safety.
- pH Considerations: Should be used within the recommended pH range (4.5–8.0) to ensure product stability and skin compatibility.
- Inhalation: Low volatility; however, avoid inhalation of dust or aerosols during manufacturing.
When formulated properly, NANOACTIV MOIST poses minimal hazard and is safe for daily use in cosmetic and personal care applications.
Storage & Stability
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Protect from direct sunlight.
- Stability: Chemically stable and compatible with most cosmetic ingredients. Maintains performance across a broad pH range.
NANOACTIV MOIST is available in bulk and wholesale quantities, offering formulators a high-performance, naturally derived humectant that enhances hydration, softness, and overall product appeal.
