Potassium Sorbate

Definition
Potassium Sorbate is a commonly used preservative in skincare formulations. It helps prevent the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, in cosmetic products, thus extending their shelf life and ensuring their safety. Potassium Sorbate works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, thereby reducing the risk of product contamination. By preserving the formulation, it helps maintain the efficacy and integrity of other active ingredients in the product, ensuring that they remain effective over time. Potassium Sorbate is primarily beneficial for the formulation itself rather than providing direct benefits to the skin.
