Popular questions
Is sodium lactate dairy?
No—sodium lactate is not a dairy ingredient; it’s made by fermenting sugars (e.g., corn or beets) and contains no lactose or milk proteins.
How much sodium lactate in soap?
Typical use in cold-process soap is 0.5–3% of the oil weight (about 1 teaspoon per pound of oils), added to cooled lye water; using too much can make bars brittle.
What does sodium lactate do in soap?
It makes bars harder and easier to unmold, helping them last longer and feel smoother; in liquid soap it also acts as a humectant.
Is sodium lactate natural?
It’s generally considered naturally derived—made by fermenting sugars to lactic acid then neutralizing with sodium—though “natural” labeling depends on local regulations.
Does sodium lactate contain dairy?
No; despite the name, it doesn’t contain milk proteins or lactose and is typically made from fermented plant sugars (if highly sensitive to dairy, you can confirm the source with the manufacturer).
Is calcium lactate dairy?
No—calcium lactate (E327) is a mineral salt of lactic acid and is not a dairy product; it contains no milk proteins or lactose.
What is calcium lactate good for?
It’s used to supply calcium and as a firming/thickening and acidity-regulating agent in foods; it’s also common in alginate spherification and for calcium fortification or supplementation.
Does calcium lactate contain dairy?
No, it doesn’t contain dairy; despite the name, it’s typically made by fermenting sugars or via synthesis and is free of milk proteins and lactose.
Does calcium lactate have dairy?
No—it's not derived from milk and does not have dairy components.
How to make popping boba without calcium lactate?
Use direct spherification: blend 0.5–1% sodium alginate into your flavored liquid, let it rest to de-bubble, then drip it into a 0.7–1% calcium chloride solution for 30–60 seconds and rinse to remove any bitterness.
