sodium levulinate is the sodium salt of levulinic acid, and is used as a preservative and skin conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products. little information is available regarding its use in these formulas, although more research is available regarding sodium levulinate as a preservative in food, especially fresh meats. in a study published in the journal of muscle foods, sodium levulinate was found to inhibit the growth of aerobic microorganisms during storage compared to controls, while not affecting color or ph levels. it is likely to perform similarly in cosmetics and other skin care formulas, protecting products from the growth of microoragnisms without significantly altering the integrity of the other ingredients.
