General safety info about Sodium Lactobionate from CIR
The Expert Panel assessed the safety of 25 monosaccharides, disaccharides, and related ingredients, and concluded these ingredients are safe as used in cosmetics. Many of these ingredients are common dietary sugars, dietary sugar replacements, or very closely related analogs and salts; seven of the ingredients are listed by the FDA as GRAS food substances. The most commonly reported cosmetic function is as a skin conditioning agent; other commonly-reported functions are use as a humectant or as a flavoring agent. The Panel reviewed the animal and clinical data included in this assessment, acknowledged that the oral safety of many of these ingredients has been well established, and found it appropriate to extrapolate the existing information to conclude on the safety of all the monosaccharides, disaccharides, and related ingredients
