You can do the reverse unit conversion from grams Sodium Lactate to moles , or enter other units to convert below:. In chemistry, the formula weight is a quantity computed by multiplying the atomic weight in atomic mass units of each element in a chemical formula by the number of atoms of that element present in the formula, then adding all of these products together.
Formula weights are especially useful in determining the relative weights of reagents and products in a chemical reaction. These relative weights computed from the chemical equation are sometimes called equation weights. If the formula used in calculating molar mass is the molecular formula, the formula weight computed is the molecular weight. The percentage by weight of any atom or group of atoms in a compound can be computed by dividing the total weight of the atom or group of atoms in the formula by the formula weight and multiplying by Using the chemical formula of the compound and the periodic table of elements, we can add up the atomic weights and calculate molecular weight of the substance.
We use the most common isotopes. This is how to calculate molar mass average molecular weight , which is based on isotropically weighted averages. This is not the same as molecular mass, which is the mass of a single molecule of well-defined isotopes. Agreed, sodium lactate feels amazing in lotion! The lye water was room temp when I added the sodium lactate and the oils were about 90 degrees F.
Can you please confirm that I should have added it at normal soap making temps about F typically for me and this was likely my problem? I did get some LabColors and fragrance mixed in after it thickened and again had to spoon scoop it into molds where it will likely have air pockets when it hardens similar to my first batch.
Is the palm kernel oil in your batch in flake form? Also, what was your superfat? Perfect, thank you. Palm kernel flakes have a higher melting point, so we recommend having your oils and lye around F. That way they will still melted the whole time and not thicken up the batch. The recipe also has a high percentage of hard oils, which will cause it to accelerate. I just made a batch of cp soap today and used SL for the first time. In my excitement I somehow missed the directions on adding it to the lye water and I added it directly to the soap at trace instead.
I used the recommended 1 tsp per pounday of oils. I had to improvise and do a layered design vs a drop swirl like the original plan. Thanks for all the great info! We have forgotten to add the sodium lactate to the lye water and used it at trace before.
What is in your recipe? How much sodium lactate are you using? My oils were approx. Thanks so much for the recipe! Did you mix the clay and titanium dioxide beforehand? If so, what did you mix them with?
Clay tends to absorb moisture and accelerate trace in soap. Titanium dioxide can accelerate slightly as well, though not as much as clay. We recommend mixing clay with distilled water to help slow that down! We like to use 1 teaspoon of clay in 1 tablespoon of distilled water. For your next batch, it can help to add the colors right before swirling them into the soap.
Adding more slow-moving oils like olive and sweet almond helps too. Sodium lactate works differently in cold process than it does in melt and pour. Because cold process is made from scratch, the sodium lactate helps harden the bars.
Melt and pour has already been made, so the sodium lactate would just add extra liquid to the bars and not harden them. Hello, I have used SL for my last two batches of Cold Process soap and both times I have achieved a very light trace, right where I wanted to be before adding my fragrance oils.
Only to add them and have my batch turn into super thick trace, can no longer pour but have to glop my batter into some semblance of the design I originally was hoping to achieve.
I have successfully used the fragrance oils before, the only new addition is the SL. Could the SL be causing the trace to advance that fast? The soaps still turned out really nice, just had to go with the lack of flow and make a slightly different bar of soap than intended. If I could figure out how to add a pic I would show ya. Thank you. How much were you adding to your batch? Also, how hot were your lye and oils? If the lye is cold, it can cause any hard oils to solidify and the batch will thicken quickly.
The first batch I made was the Galaxy Soap and I used the recommended amount, I want to say 2 teaspoons to the lye water. The second batch was the lemon linear from the new soap queen book.
I did use less then recommended in the second batch, one tablespoon as opposed to one and a half. For both soaps the lye water and oils were right around degrees when I combined them.
I did however add the sodium lactate to the lye water right after combining the lye and water and not after it has cooled. Now that I read it more carefully I see that. Maybe that is my issue? What fragrance are you using for both? Thanks for answering my questions.
Kelsey, For the lemon soap I used 2 oz bergamot and 2 oz litsea cubeba. The galaxy soap I used 1 oz green fig and 1. I got all my oils from brambleberry. I have used fragrance and essential oils in the past, if not these specific combinations and I know they accelerate trace. That is why I stopped stick blending at such a light trace.
With the galaxy soap in particular, I stopped stick blending at very light trace and I rested the blender in the bowl. I grabbed the five measuring cups and colors and was lining everything up, along with the fragrance blend. It was a couple mins max and when I tested the soap it was already super thick and I remember cringing at the thought of adding fragrance to it as it would only get thicker. With the lemon soap , remembering what happened previously I used the stick blender for 10 sec bursts and then paused for a while to see if it continued to thicken while at rest.
This time I took the stick blender out at a very light trace and grabbed my prepped lemon rind and juice and was folding it into the soap with a spatula and it started to accelerate very rapidly. By the time I added the fragrance oils they just floated on top of the thick batter. Thank you for all your help. I think it may be the lemon juice. Because lemon juice is very acidic, it does tend to react with the lye and can do some odd things in soap.
I have heard of it accelerating or separating in cold process soap. It does need a lot of extra blending to stay emulsified, which can thicken it quite a bit.
It works nicely for more simple designs, as you are working with a thicker trace. I want to use SL. The SL you use is liquid form. Can i use dry SL in my CP soap or do i need to somehow reconstitute it?
If so how much SL to liquid ratio? Thanks so much for any input you can provide. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer to see how to incorporate it in soap, or if it needs to be mixed with water beforehand.
They should be able to tell you more about how to use it. Sooo, can it be added to cooled lye milk instead of water? So now I have a bottle of it. You can add sodium lactate to the cooled lye milk! You can add it to any liquid used for cold process soapmaking.
It helps the soap unmold more quickly. Sodium lactate helps it unmold more quickly, but the cure time will still be weeks. If you want to speed that up, you can water or in this case milk discount your soap! Adding less liquid to begin with means there is less to evaporate.
I love to use EDTA and it really adds to cleaning and suds. I also use Sodium Lactate and ask if there is any contra indications in mixing the two at prescribed rates. I recognize some do not like to use EDTA or are reluctant to do so as it may disqualify the product as being organic.
I was using glycerin in place of a carrier oil but found it makes the soap to soft. Any comments are welcome. I believe those two should be just fine mixed together! I would recommend making a small test batch with the EDTA and sodium lactate just to be sure. I know Sulphur make a Soap softer. Salt make the Soap harder. But i want a smooth, hard soap. Can i make this? Sorry about that! I can tell you that on their own, both sodium lactate and salt harden the bars nicely!
Adding both may make the bars a bit hard or crumbly. I would recommend trying the bars with one or the other. If you want it a bit more hard, you can try both in a small test batch. I assume that there are more pros to using sodium lactate than table salt—would you mind explaining what they are? Does table salt not act as a humectant? So how do you decide which to use? Maybe even more? Salt water and sodium lactate are very similar!
They both help harden the soap up, which makes it unmold more quickly. I would recommend making soap with the salt solution and sodium lactate. That way you can see which one you prefer, and if you notice a difference in the weight of the bars. Also, castile soap can be quite soft, so I think adding the sodium lactate at a higher percentage. You can also water discount the soap! We recommend using the sodium lactate within two years of purchase.
The 1 tsp. However, because your recipe is softer, you may want to go up to the 1. After looking into this further, I realized the. I am so sorry about that. For soap, we recommend the 1 teaspoon per pound of oils. If you go higher than that, the soap can be quite hard and may crumble. Sorry again for any confusion. For soap, we recommend sticking to 1 teaspoon per pound of oils. I just purchased some sodium lactate, but when I was making my batch I accidentally looked too fast and put I tablespoon instead of 1 teaspoon per pound.
It is for a 10 inch mold and I ended up putting only 1 T. What can I add to this new rebatch I plan on making to correct any possible lye heaviness, and to counteract the excess sodium lactate? Definitely a new one on me. Please help!! The good news is you can definitely use that soap in a variety of ways. If the soap is lye heavy, laundry soap is the way to go. Laundry soap is made up of several ingredients, including washing soda and baking soda.
You can leave the laundry soap unscented, or add another fragrance oil to the mix to mask the Bay Rum a bit. For instance, a touch of peppermint essential oil would add some freshness to the soap! I would recommend rebatching with equal parts or double of a nice soft recipe. That will combine to create a softer soap overall.
You can also embed the soap pieces into a new loaf of soap if you like. The comments on the Sudsy Shampoo Bar is closed. I thought I might find the answer here. Or would the salt interfere with the lather? I have not used SL before, but am curious to learn more about it. You can definitely add sodium lactate to make those bars a bit more firm! You can also increase the coconut and palm oil in the recipe. They help make the bars more firm! Kind of to avoiding using all my beeswax.
While sodium lactate helps soap harden up, it will not have the same effect in salves and balms. You can add hard oil to the mixture to help make it firmer though.
Coconut oil, cocoa butter and shea butter all add great firming properties to recipes. They also help add some skin-loving moisture. I was wondering though if you would consider this a natural ingredient on a soap label? If a soap has all natural ingredients and this — can it still be called an all natural soap?
It is not regulated, so it means something different to everyone! Sodium lactate is derived from natural ingredients, so some may consider it natural.
I would definitely encourage you to check that article out and see what you feel comfortable with when labeling products! I know some soapers say the soap has natural ingredients, rather than calling the soap itself natural. That may be an option for you. Hello, Can you use salt in place of sodium lactate? What is the big difference between the two? I was just wondering how it would look on an ingredient list versus salt or even sea salt.
Thank you so much in advance! You can use a salt water solution to harden your soap! To make that mix 1 teaspoon of regular table salt into 1 ounce by weight of warm distilled water. Stir until the salt is fully dissolved. We recommend 1 teaspoon of salt in 1 ounce of water per pound of soap. Search forums.

Please, I need to know how much sodium lactate so I can make my recipes soon. AliOop Lifetime Supporter. It will harden very fast on its own; you should have no problem unmolding within several hours, depending on your soaping temps. I agree with AliOop.
I use sodium lactate in all of my soaps at 1 teaspoon PPO.
