Learn more about Ulmus Davidiana Root ExtractSodium Benzoate is a preservative. It's used in both cosmetic and food products to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria. It is typically produced synthetically.
Both the US FDA and EU Health Committee have approved the use of sodium benzoate. In the US, levels of 0.1% (of the total product) are allowed.
Sodium benzoate works as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of bacteria inside of cells. It prevents the cell from fermenting a type of sugar using an enzyme called phosphofructokinase.
It is the salt of benzoic acid. Foods containing sodium benzoate include soda, salad dressings, condiments, fruit juices, wines, and snack foods.
Studies for using ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate in cosmetics are lacking, especially in skincare routines with multiple steps.
We always recommend speaking with a professional, such as a dermatologist, if you have any concerns.

B.LAB Matcha Hydrating Foam Cleanser 34 ingredients
It does the job! Cleans the face perfectly without stripping me out and smells amazing!
I gave this cleanser so many chances but ITS CLEARLY NOT FOR ME. I love the afterwash look. My face feel soft, foamy, doesnt feel tight. But this cleanser seems to give me acne and bumps.
As much as i want to love this i cant. What i hate about this also is the fragrance, its like your using a bleaching soap on your face im not a fan of the smell that its giving me.

Love the plush texture and how well it cleans! The scent is definitely very strong, I could do without it.
