Sodium Lactate for Soap Making & Lotions | 60% USP Pure Natural Preservative | Harder Bar of Soap, Bigger Yield, Faster Cure Time, Provides Moisture | 7 lbs

I've been using this regularly in my cold process soap batches since I bought it. I can't say that I really notice a difference in using it and not using it. I only use it at 1% based on recommendations from many soap makers online. I'm not so adventurous to increase my usage rate. I started using it in conjunction with other additives. Maybe I'll leave it out once to see if it makes a difference. I rate it 5 because it doesn't seem to harm my soap batches at all. I see this lasting a while because I don't need to use much each time.

I use this in making hot process soap. It does great making the batter easier to pour. Love it.

After reading so many reviews from people complaining about the amount of product in the bottle, I went back to the description where it clearly states that this product is sold by volume, not weight. I then ordered it. It arrived today with a sealant over the cap (nothing leaked out).I put the bottle on my scale: 4.85 oz. Bottle is about 2/3 full. I’m guessing 0.85 oz for the bottle.Voilà !

So I originally sent this back when I received it because I saw that the bottle wasn’t anywhere near full, but yet it was strange that the packaging wasn’t wet, not to mention it does come very well sealed. So I sent it back but ordered a replacement and noted that in my return. Well, as I was waiting for my replacement I came back on here to read the reviews and other people had the same experience I did. So I thought that was super strange. Then I read one review where one person actually dumped it out and weighed it and it was exactly 4oz. So when I received my bottle I was disappointed again to see that it again was not anywhere near full! I was looking all over the bottle, and I finally noticed it! Very VERY small on the front it does say that it Is sold by weight and not volume. So now I get it! So I didn’t return this one. But I must say, first that needs to be mentioned in numerous places in the description, and in BOLD if you are not going to just simply buy smaller bottles. Otherwise it is not very noticeable.

Product shipped quickly as in three days without adding express and I got two different 12oz bottles both from Soapeauty. At first thought it's not as full as other so I measured it and it's spot on. Them I tested it in a batch of soap and no acceleration or noticeable viscosity difference so I am glad and got what I ordered, thank you and lesson learned reminder don't let density differences make you think you didn't get the full amount.

AA++

I really like this product for my soap. It really does improve the quality!!! This is my 2nd time ordering this same product.

Bottle wasn't full.
