Preservative for my Herbal mixture

I combined this with sodium benzoate (food-grade) to preserve my African herbal mixture that I sell. As a test, I filled one 1-liter bottle with the unpreserved herbal concoction and another with the preserved herbal mixture. By the second day, I spotted fungi growing in the unpreserved herbal mixture, while only none appeared in the preserved one. It's the second week and haven't observed any growth of fungi. Additionally, these additives didn’t alter the aroma of the herbal blend, and it maintained its effectiveness.
