Sorbic acid is obtained from the berries of Sorbus aucuparia, a tree belonging to the Rosaceae family. It appears as an odorless white solid. Slightly soluble in water. It is used in the cosmetic field as a preservative in various preparations, such as lotions, creams, hair products and deodorants, always in combination with other antimicrobial substances, in particular benzoic acid. It is also used in eco-certifiable products, and is therefore considered a safe product.
