Sodium Anisate

Sodium Anisate is the sodium salt of anisic acid, derived from anise or fennel essential oils through natural fermentation or extraction processes. It serves as a natural, eco-certified preservative booster that works synergistically with other preservation systems, particularly effective against bacteria and molds in the pH range of 4-6.5. Formulators favor it in natural and organic cosmetics as it meets strict certification requirements (COSMOS, NaTrue) while providing gentle antimicrobial activity without the sensitization concerns of traditional preservatives like parabens or formaldehyde releasers.
