Sodium Benzoate

Sodium benzoate is best recognized as a preservative used to increase the shelf life of processed foods and beverages, but it has a variety of additional applications.

It is a crystalline powder with no odour that's manufactured by mixing benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide. On its own, benzoic acid is a good preservative, but mixing it with sodium hydroxide makes it easier to dissolve in products. Sodium benzoate is a versatile chemical and is used in a variety of medicines, cosmetics, personal care products, and industrial products, in addition to processed foods and beverages.
