How to use
Para utilizar el sorbato de potasio en cosmética, es importante tener en cuenta las recomendaciones de uso específicas del fabricante. Por lo general, se recomienda que el sorbato de potasio se agregue a la formulación en concentraciones de entre el 0,05% y el 0,8% del peso total del producto. Before adding the potassium sorbate to the formulation, it is important to ensure that it is completely dissolved in water or another suitable solvent. This can be accomplished by mechanical or manual agitation. It is also important to add the potassium sorbate to the formulation at the right time, usually during the chill phase, to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the product. It is important to note that potassium sorbate is not effective against all bacteria and microorganisms, so it is important to follow good manufacturing practices to ensure product safety and quality.
