Geogard Ultra™
$0.00
INCI: Sodium Benzoate, Gluconolactone
Product Category: PreservativeGeogard Ultra™ is a synergistic, patented blend comprised of gluconolactone and sodium benzoate. What makes this preservative unique is the synergy between the two ingredients, allowing for its broad-spectrum efficacy. Typically, organic acids on their own are too weak and often require a co-preservative or booster in order to perform optimally. The gluconolactone in this blend works together with the sodium benzoate to act as an efficient preservative booster that is also non-GMO. Geogard Ultra™’s gluconolactone works by slowly releasing gluconic acid over time, which helps contribute to the preservation.
