What is Sodium Benzoate?

Sodium Benzoate is a synthetic preservative derived from benzoic acid, which is naturally found in plants. It is used primarily in foods, beverages, and cosmetics to prevent microbial growth and extend the shelf life of products.

Why do we use Sodium Benzoate In our products?

We use Sodium Benzoate in our products because it is a food-grade preservative that prevents the growth of mold and bacteria. It ensures our products remain safe, fresh, and effective for longer periods of time.

Is it safe? Is it non-toxic?

Like most things Sodium Benzoate is safe and non-toxic for use as long as it is used within recommended concentrations. Regulatory bodies, such as the FDA and the European commission, have approved its use in both food and cosmetic products.

In summary

Sodium Benzoate is a safe and non-toxic choice for preserving food, beverages, and cosmetics. Since it is plant based, it is biodegradable and eco-friendly, making it a sustainable and healthy choice for our products.
