Sodium Benzoate is a preservative used in many cosmetic formulations such as lotions, creams, ointments and deodorants for anti-fungal properties. Sodium Benzoate protects against bacteria and yeast. It is most active in formulations with a pH of 4.5 or lower. Because it is not broad spectrum, Sodium Benzoate should be combined with other preservatives such as Potassium Sorbate.

Love it for personal use. Fragile for shipping.

"This was really easy to make and smells amazing! I accidentally used the whole 2oz bottles of fragrance and color stabilizer. They came out okay anyway. However, the shavings on top are really fragile. I tried adding extra clear MP after cutting, but I'm not sure how well the tops would hold up for daily use or shipping. Getting the soap out of the skinny loaf was so difficult!"
