I bought this product to make non- probiotic vegan yoghurt and it worked just fine. I also used it in a batch of vegan mozzarella cheese which did not set. I added two teaspoons to the mozzerella and it became vegan sour cream which was great on potato wedges. I will use the lactic acid instead of lemon juice when making tofu sour cream. I would recommend this product in recipes where you are trying to get an acid flavour, and you want to keep liquids in the mixture to a minimum. Review: Great as a natural preservative when home baking - This is superb if you have a problem with your bread not keeping well. You may have noticed that sourdough, whether bought or made, keeps far better than commercial yeast raised bread. The reason is that it has lactic acid from the slow fermentation process. If you add about a teaspoon of this product to the flour, right at the start, you will taste no material difference, but the bread will miraculously last much longer. And this is not a chemical preservative which you may feel uneasy about, its something which is found naturally in all sourdough breads, yoghurts etc. Wonderful. ## Features - Use to impart a sour taste in cockt ails and beverages - Make Vegan friendly cheese and butter - Use in beer brewing to increase body and lower pH - Use in sourdough bread making to give the sour flavour - Suitable for Vegans, Non GMO ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TR4JF1Z | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,221 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 15 in Plant Based Spreads | | Brand | SPECIAL INGREDIENTS | | Container Type | Bag | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 304 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05056191004964 | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 5000 Grams | | Item form | Powder | | Item weight | 5000 Grams | | Manufacturer | Special Ingredients Ltd | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Special Ingredients Ltd, Foxwood Industrial Park, Chesterfield, S41 9RN Tel: 01246 906247 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5056191004964 | | Package information | Bag | | Unit Count | 5000.0 gram | | Unit count | 5000.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SPECIAL INGREDIENTS - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 5000 Grams - **Manufacturer:** Special Ingredients Ltd - **Package information:** Bag ## Images ![Lactic Acid Powder 5kg - Vegan Friendly Ideal for Vegan Cheese and Butter, Non-GMO - Recyclable Container - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AjwiWrmXL.jpg) ![Lactic Acid Powder 5kg - Vegan Friendly Ideal for Vegan Cheese and Butter, Non-GMO - Recyclable Container - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b8qoGj5wL.jpg) ![Lactic Acid Powder 5kg - Vegan Friendly Ideal for Vegan Cheese and Butter, Non-GMO - Recyclable Container - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714Yx8Ut83L.jpg) ![Lactic Acid Powder 5kg - Vegan Friendly Ideal for Vegan Cheese and Butter, Non-GMO - Recyclable Container - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nzQDxu-AL.jpg) ![Lactic Acid Powder 5kg - Vegan Friendly Ideal for Vegan Cheese and Butter, Non-GMO - Recyclable Container - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81okt77Nh-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great find - adds new dimension to cooking *by A***S on 17 October 2015* This product gives an acidic flavour.

You may have noticed that sourdough, whether bought or made, keeps far better than commercial yeast raised bread. The reason is that it has lactic acid from the slow fermentation process.

If you make solid shampoo or conditioner bars, you know how tricky it is to get the acidity right without ruining the texture. Superior Performance Over Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) 🍏 I previously used ACV to adjust acidity, but it introduced too much liquid into my recipes, often making the bars too soft or slow to cure. Switching to this powder allows me to achieve the perfect acidic environment for hair (around pH 4.5–5.5) while keeping my solid formulations firm and professional. Key Benefits in Cosmetics • Perfect Dispersion: When mixed into warm liquids, the powder disperses perfectly and evenly. No clumping or grainy patches in the final product! ✨ • Stability: Unlike ACV, this lactic acid is much more stable over time, ensuring products maintain their quality and effectiveness on the shelf. ⏳ • Scalp Health: At low concentrations, Lactic Acid does more than just balance pH—it can help clear dandruff, support a healthy skin microbiome, and keep the scalp's natural defenses strong. 🧬 Hydration Boost: Beyond just balancing pH, it acts as a humectant. It helps the hair and scalp retain moisture without the dryness or irritation caused by harsher adjusters. 💦 Pro-Tips for Usage • Keep it Low: I highly recommend keeping usage rates below 3% for standard hair and skin products. At this level, Lactic Acid is ideal for pH balancing and hydration and does not cause dryness or irritation. • Exfoliation Secret: If you do want to go higher, concentrations above 3% can be used to exfoliate feet. It’s a simple, effective solution that leaves them baby-soft! 👣 • Weight Precision: It’s much easier to measure by weight than trying to "drip" liquid acids into a thick surfactant paste. Final Verdict If you are serious about DIY cosmetics—especially waterless or solid beauty—this is a staple. It’s effective, keeps my bars solid, and provides a much more professional finish than kitchen pantry alternatives. 🏆 ## Frequently Bought Together - Lactic Acid Powder 5kg - Vegan Friendly Ideal for Vegan Cheese and Butter, Non-GMO - Recyclable Container - Special Ingredients Agar Agar 100g Premium Quality Powder Vegan Gelatine, European, Suitable for Vegan's & Vegetarian's, Non GMO, Gluten Free, Recyclable Container - Special Ingredients Citric Acid Powder 100g Premium Quality --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/416342737-lactic-acid-powder-5kg-vegan-friendly-ideal-for-vegan-cheese](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/416342737-lactic-acid-powder-5kg-vegan-friendly-ideal-for-vegan-cheese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
