About Sodium Propionate
Sodium propionate is the sodium salt of propionic acid.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the formulation's acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in products and slow deterioration during storage.[3] In Europe, when used as a preservative, it is permitted at up to 2% (calculated as acid).[2]
