Gluconolactone (and) Sodium Benzoate Blend is a natural alternative preservative for DIY cosmetics that offers broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, mold, and fungus. This blend is made with naturally derived ingredients and is accepted for use in certified organic cosmetics by ECOCERT, making it a great choice for those looking for an eco-friendly option. The main ingredient, Gluconolactone, is not only a preservative but also acts as a moisturizer and chelating agent, potentially enhancing the overall benefits of your product. It works by gently weakening the cell walls of microbes, hindering their growth. Sodium Benzoate, the other component of the blend, is a widely used preservative particularly effective against fungus, especially in slightly acidic environments (pH below 6).
