Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate is the sodium salt of levulinic acid, a naturally derived organic acid. It functions primarily as a skin conditioning agent and a preservative booster in cosmetic formulations. It helps to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, thereby extending the product's shelf life and ensuring its safety.
