Sorbic Acid is a natural compound widely used in skincare and cosmetic products as a preservative. It can inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms in formulations, thereby extending the shelf life of products. Sorbic Acid is known for being beneficial at low levels and is often used in combination with other preservatives to provide broad-spectrum protection from contamination.
Where does it come from?
Sorbic Acid is naturally found in some berries, particularly the berries of the rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia), from which it gets its name. However, the Sorbic Acid used in cosmetics is stabilized for purity and consistency.
