Sodium Benzoate (CAS 532-32-1) is a powerhouse preservative (E211) that inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold in acidic environments. It is the industry standard for preserving soft drinks, fruit juices, and pickles. In cosmetics, it is a safe antimicrobial for lotions and shampoos. It is also used as a corrosion inhibitor in automotive coolants.

Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. May cause skin and serious eye irritation in concentrated form. Dust may irritate respiratory tract.
Yes, it is globally approved. However, it should not be mixed with Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) in high concentrations as it can form trace amounts of Benzene.
Benzoic Acid is poorly soluble in water. Sodium Benzoate is highly soluble, making it much easier to mix into drinks and food products.
Powder dissolves faster. Granular (or Noodles) is preferred in factories because it creates no dust, protecting workers' breathing.
It only works well in acidic foods (pH below 4.5). In alkaline products, its preservative effect is lost.
