Potassium Sorbate
Potassium sorbate is the inactive salt of sorbic acid and occurs as a white crystalline powder, white granules or pellets. It is a mild preservative widely used in many cosmetic and skincare products including makeup, eye and hair care formulas. The compound is a safer alternative to paraben-based preservative systems as it protects formulations against spoilage without the carcinogenic effects of parabens.
