01VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS
Precise preservation in granular form
A quiet workhorse for the formulation bench, this sodium benzoate arrives as fine white prills, ready to dissolve into your next batch. Its clean appearance belies its functional role in stabilising sensitive products.
Designed for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food or beverage applications, it suits formulators seeking reliable protection against yeast and mould, particularly in low pH environments where synergy with other agents is valued.

02MATERIALS
The chemistry of stability
Chemically defined as the sodium salt of benzoic acid, this ingredient carries the formula NaC7H5O2. It exists here as a granular solid rather than a fine dust, offering a consistent texture that handles easily during weighing. The white colour indicates purity, while the prilled consistency ensures uniform distribution within liquid or semi-solid matrices.

04PRACTICAL DETAILS

About this product
Sodium Benzoate is widely used as a preservative for cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food/beverage formulations. Benzoic acid, or NaC7H5O2, is considered to be primarily an anti-fungal, but also shows some activity against bacteria.
It is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and exists in the form of white powder/granular solid and is water soluble. Often combined with Potassium Sorbate in low pH products, it provides a synergistic preservative effect against yeast and mould.
