About Formic Acid
Formic Acid is an organic acid.[1] The properties and skin feel of Formic Acid in a finished product may vary depending on the formulation concentration, the ingredients used together, the formula's acidity, and manufacturing conditions. In cosmetics, it is used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in products and delay deterioration during storage.[3] In Europe, when used as a preservative, it is permitted up to 0.5% (based on acid content).[2]
