FAQ

 

 

Q1: What is the core function of cosmetic‑grade Potassium Sorbate Powder?
A1: It acts as a cosmetic preservative, mainly inhibiting yeast and mold reproduction to prevent cosmetic mildew and spoilage.
Q2: Which pH range delivers the best antimicrobial performance?
A2: Optimal efficacy at pH 4.0‑6.5. Antimicrobial activity declines significantly under alkaline conditions.
Q3: Can Potassium Sorbate be used alone in cosmetic formulas?
A3: It can be used alone, yet combined use with other preservatives delivers broader‑spectrum protection and lowers individual additive dosage.
Q4: Is Potassium Sorbate irritating to the skin?
A4: Low‑irritation within the recommended dosage 0.1%‑0.6%, suitable for most daily skincare formulations.
Q5: What cosmetic products is Potassium Sorbate suitable for?
A5: Ideal for toners, lotions, creams, serums, masks and various water‑based gel cosmetic products.
Q6: Can it dissolve in oil‑phase systems?
A6: It is water‑soluble with poor oil solubility. It should be added into the water phase during production.
Q7: What storage conditions does Potassium Sorbate powder require?
A7: Keep tightly sealed, store in cool and dry place, keep away from moisture and high temperature to avoid performance degradation.
Q8: Will it have incompatibility with common cosmetic raw materials?
A8: Good compatibility with humectants, plant extracts and most cosmetic actives; avoid strong alkaline raw materials which will weaken its preservation effect.
