Sodium Benzoate

Preservative

SODIUM BENZOATE

Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in certain fruits such as cranberries, plums, and apples. For cosmetic use, it is typically produced synthetically to ensure purity, consistency, and safety. It is widely used in both food and cosmetic formulations and is recognized as food grade when manufactured to appropriate standards.

In skincare, sodium benzoate functions as a preservative that helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold in water-based formulas. It has a long history of safe use and is approved globally within regulated concentration limits. When used properly within cosmetic guidelines, it is considered safe and well tolerated.
