Sodium benzoate is a widely used preservative in the food, beverage, and cosmetic industries. It is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and is valued for its ability to inhibit the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Due to its effectiveness, safety, and cost efficiency, sodium benzoate is a common ingredient in a variety of products, including soft drinks, sauces, personal care items, and pharmaceuticals.
Sodium Benzoate is not a broad spectrum preservative for cosmetic use and should be combined with other preservatives. If Sodium Benzoate is used as a preservative, the pH of the finished product may need to be lowered enough to release the free acid for useful activity.
