Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate is a widely used, gentle preservative in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is commonly used to help extend shelf life and maintain product freshness, particularly in water-based and low pH formulations.

Valued for its mildness and compatibility, Potassium Sorbate works best when combined with other preservatives to provide broad-spectrum protection. It is especially suited to formulations where a softer preservation system is desired, and is often used alongside preservatives such as phenoxyethanol or benzyl alcohol to enhance overall effectiveness.

Easy to incorporate and highly versatile, Potassium Sorbate is a popular choice for formulators seeking reliable preservation while maintaining a skin-friendly profile.
