What it does
Sodium anisate, the salt of anisic acid (found in anise and fennel), is used with a glycol or other co-ingredient as part of a milder preservation system. It helps suppress the growth of bacteria, mold, and yeast to keep a product fresh. It is a freshness ingredient rather than a skin active.
