Aluminum lactate

Aluminum lactate (CAS 18917-91-4) is the aluminum salt of lactic acid, available commercially as a white powder used across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

It functions primarily as a pH buffer and astringent, delivering controlled acidity alongside mild aluminum activity in formulated products. In personal care, it is used in antiperspirant and skin-toning formulations.

Its astringent action helps regulate sebum and tighten pores without the harshness of stronger aluminum salts. Food manufacturers incorporate it as an acidulant and buffering agent to stabilize pH in processed products.

This ingredient improves texture and shelf stability in various food applications. Pharmaceutical formulators use it in topical preparations where controlled acidity and mild astringency are required for dermatological use.

It also appears in oral care and hygiene products where buffering capacity supports formula stability across varying pH conditions. Aluminum lactate is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder for industrial use.

It is available in technical and food-grade specifications, with material meeting FCC standards relevant for food and flavoring applications. This ensures high quality for sensitive manufacturing processes.

Packaging is offered in standard bulk quantities suited to industrial procurement. Documentation is provided to support use across regulated industries, ensuring compliance with global safety and quality requirements.
