  • Dissolving sodium benzoate in glycerin

    Posted by Margaret on December 28, 2024 at 3:02 pm

    Would sodium benzoate be ruined (somehow) by dissolving it in glycerin that has been heated (5-30 second bursts) in a microwave oven?

    I did the above so I could dissolve the sodium benzoate for a toothpaste I was making, and then I wondered if maybe I had ruined the sodium benzoate due to my ignorance.

    There was NO bubbling of the glycerin, and the sodium benzoate dissolved nicely in the warmed glycerin by swirling & a little stirring with a whisk.

    BEFORE YOU ASK: There is not much water in my toothpaste, THUS my dissolving the sodium benzoate in the glycerin.

    Thanks for any help!
