Ammonium lactate is a combination of lactic acid and ammonium hydroxide. It’s commonly used as a moisturizer to treat dry, scaly, itchy skin conditions, such as ichthyosis vulgaris and xerosis. The lactic acid component helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, while the ammonium hydroxide component helps to moisturize and soften the skin. It’s available in various forms, including lotions and creams, and typically requires a doctor’s prescription for use.

Ammonium lactate

  • Moisturizer: Ammonium lactate is widely used as a moisturizing agent for the treatment of dry, scaly skin conditions such as xerosis (dry skin) and ichthyosis (a group of skin disorders characterized by dry, thickened, and scaly skin).
  • Keratolytic Agent: Due to the presence of lactic acid, which acts as a mild exfoliant, ammonium lactate helps to remove dead skin cells and soften rough, thickened skin. This makes it beneficial for conditions like hyperkeratosis (excessively thickened skin) and keratosis pilaris (a common, harmless skin condition characterized by small, rough bumps).
  • Treatment of Keratosis Pilaris: Keratosis pilaris, often referred to as “chicken skin,” is a common condition characterized by rough, goosebump-like bumps on the skin, usually on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. Ammonium lactate can help smooth and soften the skin in these areas.
  • Treatment of Calluses and Corns: Ammonium lactate can be used to soften and reduce the thickness of calluses and corns, making them easier to remove.
  • Adjunctive Therapy in Psoriasis: In some cases, ammonium lactate may be used as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches of skin.
  • Preventive Care: Regular use of moisturizers containing ammonium lactate can help prevent dryness and maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, particularly in individuals prone to dry skin conditions.
