What is it?

Sodium Benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid, a compound that occurs naturally and is certified by ECOCERT, COSMOS, and Ecolabel for its nature-identical preservation mechanism and rapid biodegradability. It acts as a preservative by suppressing the growth and replication of microbes and fungi, extending the shelf life of products.
