Potassium Sorbate Powder

Potassium Sorbate – Water-Soluble Preservative

Potassium Sorbate is a widely used synthetic preservative in skincare, cosmetics, and personal care products. As the potassium salt of sorbic acid, it helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mould, and fungi—extending the shelf life of water-based formulations without altering texture or fragrance.

Ideal for use in a variety of products including body wash, hair care, facial creams, and lotions, Potassium Sorbate is a valuable addition to your preservation system when used alongside other broad-spectrum preservatives.
