POTASSIUM SORBATE
Potassium Sorbate is mainly used as a food preservative, but it can also be used in natural skincare products. Potassium Sorbate is salt derived and is mild, non-toxic and nonsensitising.
It is a mild, water-soluble preservative that is widely regarded as safe (GRAS) around the world. It has an off-white crystalline powder appearance with granular/pellet needles that are approximately 5mm in length and a particle size of 20-40 mesh. It dissolves easily in water and transforms to sorbic acid, which is the active form.
