About Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate is an organic salt.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the acidity of the formulation, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in a product and delay deterioration during storage.[3] In Europe, when used as a preservative, it is permitted at up to 0.6% (based on acid content).[2]
