Information

Scorbic Acid, more commonly known as sorbic acid, is a natural preservative widely used in skincare and cosmetic products. It is valued for its ability to help preserve formulas by preventing microbial growth, ensuring that products remain safe and effective over time.

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.

What are the benefits?

NATURAL PROTECTING GENTLE

What are the benefits?

  • 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.
