Information
Sorbic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound that is widely used as a preservative in skincare products. Its primary function is to inhibit the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi, thereby extending the shelf life of products and ensuring their safety and efficacy.
Where does it come from?
Sorbic acid is a natural ingredient extracted from the berries of the rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia). It is a clean-label, non-GMO natural solution for shelf life extension in skincare products. Rowanberry extract contains a range of bioactive compounds and organic acids, including sorbic acid.
Preservative: Its primary benefit is its ability to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms, such as mold, yeast, and fungi. This helps to maintain the integrity and safety of skincare products over time.
Gentle and Safe: Sorbic acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities when used within specified limits. It is non-toxic and has a low potential for causing irritation or allergic reactions in most individuals.
Natural: It is a clean-label, non-GMO natural preservative solution.
How is it used in our products?
Sorbic acid is used, for example, in B13 Anti-Aging Hand Cream and B52 Grapefruit Rose Body Balm from OLIVEDA. Its inclusion creates a natural broad-spectrum preservative system. This combination enhances the overall effectiveness and ensures comprehensive protection against a wide range of microorganisms.
