Sodium Benzoate

A salt made from benzoic acid with antifungal and antibacterial properties. Sodium benzoate balances pH levels in scalp and hair reducing breakage and damage, inhibits the growth of yeast (which causes dandruff) and keeps the scalp healthy by reducing the risk of infections. In addition, sodium benzoate helps products have a longer shelf life by preventing the growth of yeast, fungi and bacteria.
