Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate is a mild, well-established preservative widely used in food, personal care, and cosmetic products. Primary functions: Antimicrobial protection: Exhibits strong efficacy against molds and yeasts, with supplementary activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria. It works by inhibiting key enzymatic functions within microbial cells, preventing their growth and reproduction. Formula safety: Protects water-containing formulations from spoilage during manufacturing, storage, and the product's entire usage period, ensuring safety and stability from first use to last.

We pair Potassium Sorbate with Sodium Benzoate as our complete preservative system. This synergistic combination allows us to ensure the microbiological integrity of our water-containing products with confidence, using ingredients that are mild, well-understood, and aligned with our commitment to clean, responsible formulation. Exceptionally well-tolerated, with a very low irritation and sensitization profile. It is globally approved for cosmetic use and has an excellent long-term safety record. Readily biodegradable and environmentally compatible.
