Q: Can sodium benzoate be used on its own?
A: It can be used on its own, but it is not a broad-spectrum preservative by itself, so it is often combined with potassium sorbate for better overall support.

Q: Why does pH matter?
A: Sodium benzoate works best in acidic formulations, with its strongest performance around pH 3.
