Information
Sodium Anisate is a natural preservative and skin-conditioning agent derived from anise and fennel. Chemically, it is the sodium salt of anisic acid, known for its purifying properties and ability to promote the overall efficacy and safety of skincare formulations. Sodium Anisate is often used as a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives, providing a safer and more gentle option for preserving skincare products.
Where does it come from?
Sodium Anisate is derived from plants, primarily anise (Pimpinella anisum) and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). These plants are rich in anethole, which is then oxidized to produce anisic acid. This acid is subsequently neutralized with sodium hydroxide to form Sodium Anisate. The extraction and synthesis processes are designed to maintain the natural properties of the original plant sources, making Sodium Anisate a sustainable and eco-friendly ingredient.
Growth Inhibiting Properties: Sodium Anisate inhibits growth against a wide range of pathogens in skincare products, contributing to their safety and extending their shelf life.
Natural Preservative: As a natural preservative, Sodium Anisate is an excellent alternative to synthetic preservatives, which can sometimes cause irritation. It provides natural preservative action while being gentle on the skin.
Skin Conditioning: In addition to its preservative function, Sodium Anisate also serves as a skin-conditioning agent. It can maintain the skin’s natural harmony, promoting a vibrant and smooth complexion.
Product Stability: By inhibiting microbial growth, Sodium Anisate contributes to the stability of skincare formulations. This ensures that products remain potent and safe to use over time, maintaining their intended benefits.
Eco-friendly and Sustainable: Derived from natural plant sources, Sodium Anisate is an environmentally friendly ingredient. Its sustainable production process aligns with our values for green and clean beauty products.
