SODIUM CHOLATE
Sodium Cholate is the sodium salt of cholic acid. It is a compound related to bile salts, rather than an oil or a botanical extract, so the name on a label refers to a chemically defined substance.
SODIUM CHOLATE: what it is
Sodium Cholate is the sodium salt of cholic acid. It is a compound related to bile salts, rather than an oil or a botanical extract, so the name on a label refers to a chemically defined substance.
The word "sodium" distinguishes this salt form from cholic acid itself. That distinction is useful when looking up the ingredient: sodium cholate and cholic acid have similar names, but they are not presented as the same form of the substance.
SODIUM CHOLATE: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, Sodium Cholate may be used for skin conditioning and skin protecting. Skin conditioning means helping to keep the skin in good condition in terms of appearance and feel; skin protecting refers to helping avoid harmful effects on the skin from external factors.
Those purposes do not amount to a specific clinical outcome. Seeing Sodium Cholate in an ingredient list does not, by itself, mean that a product treats acne, wrinkles, dark spots, wounds, or another skin condition.
