Caution
Sodium Benzoate is a naturally occurring salt of benzoic acid found in cranberries, prunes, plums, apples, and other fruits. It's a white, granular, or crystalline powder in its solid state. It is utilised as a corrosion inhibitor, fragrance component, and preservative in a wide range of cosmetics and personal care products.
In low pH goods, Sodium Benzoate is frequently coupled with potassium sorbate to take use of the chemicals' synergistic anti-yeast and anti-mold properties. When coupled with caffeine, it can serve as a sunscreen and give UVB protection while also acting as an antioxidant.
