FECY Sodium Benzoate Preservative

Sodium benzoate (according to the European nomenclature E211) is a salt of benzoic acid and is well soluble in water, tasteless, and odorless, and due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties, it is a preservative added to food in strictly defined doses. It inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold 

Studies suggest that sodium benzoate may increase your risk of inflammation, oxidative stress, obesity, ADHD, and allergies. It may also convert to benzene, a potential carcinogen, but the low levels found in beverages are deemed safe.

Sodium benzoate is a salt of benzoic acid, which is naturally present in plant and animal tissues. It is a very effective anti-microbial and anti-fungal preservative. It is commonly used in foods, cosmetics, toothpaste, and pharmaceutical products because of its safety and effectiveness at very low levels.

The results showed a combination of benzoate and fluoride reduced caries activity more effectively in rodents fed a cariogenic diet ad libitum than fluoride alone (p = 0.038).

It is an antifungal and anti-bacterial agent and effectively prolongs the shelf life of your favorite skincare products. Thus, you can reap the benefits of your products for a longer time. Moreover, you need not buy the products too frequently and make the most of every tub you buy.

odium benzoate on its own is not necessarily unsafe. While it might be irritating and cause inflammation in certain skin types, there is nothing inherently disruptive about the ingredient by itself. The issues arise when the compound is combined with Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid.
