About Sodium Sorbate

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