Sodium Anisate is the sodium salt of p-anisic acid and a multifunctional ingredient utilized primarily as a natural preservative booster and masking agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations. Verified under CAS 536-45-8, this water-soluble salt exhibits strong fungistatic properties derived from star anise or fennel, making it an ideal alternative to synthetic parabens in clean label products. We offer this cosmetic-grade raw material with competitive factory pricing to support the development of skin-friendly creams, lotions, and shampoos. Our supply chain ensures consistent bulk supply availability and customized specifications, fully accompanied by MSDS, TDS, COA documentation for regulatory safety and compliance.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does Sodium Anisate correspond to the specific para-isomer salt derived from anise?
A: Sodium Anisate is verified under CAS 536-45-8 as the sodium salt of 4-Methoxybenzoic acid (p-Anisic acid), distinguishing it from ortho- or meta-isomers to ensure the specific antimicrobial efficacy and mild fragrance masking properties expected in natural cosmetic preservation. -
Q:
What is the primary advantage of using Sodium Anisate in "preservative-free" cosmetic claims?
A: Sodium Anisate is typically applied in combination with Sodium Levulinate to form a complete broad-spectrum preservation system that allows formulators to stabilize products against mold and bacteria while maintaining a "natural" or "preservative-free" label claim.
