Sodium benzoate is a natural preservative that is commonly used in combination with potassium sorbate. It is effective against fungi and some bacteria, but not against mold and yeast. It is available in various sizes and is easy to use in powder form. It is also certified as halal, kosher, vegan, and GMO-free. When using sodium benzoate, it is recommended to dissolve 0.5-3% in water and combine it with other preservatives for maximum efficacy. It is most effective at low pH levels and can be adjusted with citric acid. However, some people may experience allergic reactions to sodium benzoate, so a skin patch test is advised. It should be stored away from children, animals, moisture, sunlight, and heat, and pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult with their medical care-giver before use.

HOW TO USE SODIUM BENZOATE
Usage: 0.5-3% dissolved in water.
Sodium benzoate is not a broad spectrum preservative on its own so should be combined with other preservatives for maximum efficacy.
Sodium benzoate can be used on its own but is often combined with potassium sorbate at 0.1-0.3%. Potassium sorbate is effective against molds and yeasts so together with sodium benzoate which is effective against fungi and slightly effective against bacteria, it can make a good preservative.
It is most effective at low pH levels around 3.
Adjust the pH as required with citric acid.
