Potassium Sorbate is widely used as a food-grade preservative that possesses antiseptic properties, acting as a natural defense against bacteria and mold. In personal care applications, Potassium Sorbate serves as a broad-spectrum preservative effective against molds, yeasts, and some bacteria. It is vegan-approved and often used in skin and hair care products to improve shelf-life. It also enhances the effectiveness of other preservatives, making it a suitable alternative to parabens.
