Potassium sorbate is a naturally occurring organic salt of sorbic acid, found in certain fruits. Officially classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), and known for its saf ety and softness on the skin, it’s both non-toxic and food-grade, with a long history of use across both the worlds of skincare and food.In The Honey Mud, this salt plays a quiet but essential role: at just 0.2% of the formula, it serves two important purposes: 1) Preservation: It gently inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold, keeping your jar pristine from first to last use; and 2) pH Balance: It helps maintain the ideal environment for both skin health and formula stability. Potassium sorbate’s trace inclusion enables us to avoid harsher synthetic preservatives, ensuring The Honey Mud’s fresh formula delivers safe and effective results for even the most sensitive complexions in our community.
