Benzoic Acid's Role in Keeping Products Fresh
Preservation rarely gets credit, but a serum that grows microbes is worse than no serum at all. Benzoic acid is a mild organic preservative used at low percentages, typically as one piece of a system rather than on its own, and it performs best in formulas on the acidic side of neutral.
Revision Skincare is the brand that uses it most here. Brightening Facial Wash, Papaya Enzyme Cleanser and Pore Purifying Clay Mask all include it, and so do leave-ons such as DEJ Face Cream and Retinol Complete 1.0.
Is benzoic acid a paraben?
No. Parabens are esters of a different acid entirely. Benzoic acid and its salt, sodium benzoate, are among the preservatives commonly chosen by brands formulating without parabens.
