Sodium Benzoate

Sodium benzoate is used in cosmetics production primarily as a preservative and antimicrobial agent.
Its main uses in cosmetics production include:
Preservative: Sodium benzoate helps extend the shelf life of cosmetic products by preventing the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds. This is crucial for maintaining the product’s safety and efficacy.
pH Adjuster: It can also act as a pH adjuster in cosmetic formulations. Sodium benzoate is often used to control and maintain the pH levels of products to ensure they are within the desired range.
Fragrance Ingredient: In some cases, sodium benzoate may be used as a carrier or solvent for fragrances in cosmetics, helping to disperse and stabilize the fragrance components.
Ingredient Solubilizer: Sodium benzoate can assist in dissolving other ingredients, making it easier to formulate and stabilize certain cosmetic products.
Antioxidant: In combination with other ingredients, sodium benzoate can function as an antioxidant, helping to protect the cosmetic product from oxidation and maintaining its quality.

Product Safety
It’s important to note that the use of sodium benzoate in cosmetics is regulated to ensure its safety, and it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used within established guidelines and concentrations. Cosmetic manufacturers carefully consider the appropriate dosage and safety factors to create products that are safe for consumers.
