Our Potassium Sorbate is is synthetically produced via reaction of Sorbic Acid and Potassium Hydroxide.
Potassium Sorbate is a good, natural preservative that can be used in products such as shower gels, lotions, body butters, creams, salves, deodorants and more. Potassium Sorbate is ideal in products with a pH of 2-6.5 or lower. Potassium Sorbate is not a broad-spectrum preservative so it should be combined with other preservatives such as sodium benzoate, Campo Plantservative Oil Soluble Preservative, or Campo Plantservative Water Soluble Preservative, or Leucidal Complete.
All preservatives in total should be 2% or less of your finished formula. Since Potassium Sorbate is not substantial on its own the suggested level of usage is 0.1-2%; then combine with another preservative.
Potassium Sorbate should be added in the water phase of your formula. If you are creating a product that does not contain any water, you do not need to include a preservative. Only water can grow bacteria so if your formula is all oils/butters, no water, you do not need a preservative.
Potassium Sorbate is sold in 1-pound bio-degradable bags, 5-pound bio-degradable bags, 25-pound bags, and 55-pound sizes. For orders over 250-pounds please email us directly.
