What it is & what it does

Potassium Sorbate is a preservative particularly useful against yeast and mold.
It works best in acidic formulations and helps protect water-based products from spoilage. Its role is product safety rather than skin treatment.

Usage & cautions

Information approach Consumer-friendly summaries are informed by established cosmetic ingredient references such as INCIDecoder and Paula’s Choice Ingredient Dictionary, while avoiding turning ingredient-level evidence into medical claims about the finished product.
