Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate is a widely used preservative that helps extend the shelf life of your skincare, cosmetic, and personal care products by preventing the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi. It is a colorless, odorless powder that dissolves easily in water and is suitable for use in a variety of formulations, including lotions, creams, shampoos, and serums.

Known for its gentle yet effective antimicrobial properties, Potassium Sorbate is commonly used as a safer alternative to stronger preservatives, making it ideal for natural and sensitive formulations.

Typical usage rates range from 0.1% to 0.5%, depending on the product type and pH level. It works best in formulations with a pH below 6.5.
