When ammonium lactate is applied topically, it is found to thicken the viable epidermis while reducing the thickness of the stratum corneum layer. It is a neutralized version of lactic acid. | [CAS DataBase Reference]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Ammonium lactate is a compound with formula NH4(C2H4(OH)COO). It is the ammonium salt of lactic acid.
It has E number "E328" and is the active ingredient of the skin lotions Amlactin and Lac-Hydrin. | [Brand name]
Lac-Hydrin (Westwood-Squibb). | [General Description]
Ammonium lactate is an ammonium salt of lactic acid. It is generally used as a feedstock for ethyl lactate and as a component of moisturizers. | [Industrial uses]
Ammonium lactate, which is produced in a fermentation process, is thermally and catalytically cracked to produce lactic acid, which upon addition of an alcohol generates the ester. The ammonia and water byproducts are separated through a selective membrane and recycled. This process, which uses carbohydrate feedstocks, has made the production of lactate esters economically competitive. In turn, due to the excellent solvent properties of ethyl lactate, it has become widely available as a bio-sourced and biodegradable cleaning fluid.It has also found industrial applications in speciality coatings and inks. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), an agricultural processing company who have been commercializing the production of ethyl lactate, have recently patented isoamyl lactate as a component in an environmentally friendly solvent and household cleaner. | [storage]
