INGREDIENT OVERVIEW
Potassium Sorbate Powder
Potassium sorbate is a water-soluble preservative used in cosmetic formulations to support microbial stability in pH-controlled systems. It is commonly used in cleansers, toners, and emulsions where formulation pH is appropriately adjusted.
Our potassium sorbate is supplied as a high-purity, cosmetic-grade powder with a verified assay of 99.95% and low moisture content (0.12%). It is selected for consistent composition and reliable formulation performance.
In formulation, potassium sorbate is typically used in combination with other preservatives to enhance system performance and broaden efficacy.
