Sodium benzoate

Sodium benzoate is one of the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics and food. Any product containing water is a good breeding ground for microorganisms, so it needs protection to stay safe throughout its use.

It works best in a slightly acidic environment, which is why we often pair it with potassium sorbate. It is approved for use in natural and certified cosmetics. In our range, you will find it in creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels and foundations.
