Description

Zinc lactate (CAS 16039-53-5 ), also referred to as zinc dilactate, is an organic zinc salt used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing. It delivers bioavailable zinc in a form that integrates cleanly into aqueous formulations. This material is a preferred zinc source where tolerability and solubility profile matter to formulators. In oral care products, it is incorporated into toothpastes and mouthwashes as an antimicrobial and anticalculus agent. The compound helps control plaque and tartar formation in dental applications. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a zinc fortification source in functional foods, dietary supplements, and infant nutrition products. Clean label and taste neutrality are priorities for these food applications. In pharmaceutical tablet and capsule formulations, it supplies zinc as a mineral supplement with favorable gastrointestinal tolerability. This organic salt offers advantages over inorganic zinc salts in medical applications. Personal care formulators also apply it in deodorant and skin care products for its mild preservative and odor-control properties. The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder or granule. It is available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, with material produced to USP and FCC standards commonly requested. These quality benchmarks are essential for buyers in regulated markets. Bulk supply is standard, with packaging options suited to both industrial-scale manufacturing and smaller compounding operations. Contact us for supply of Zinc lactate Request Quote
