Description
Acts as a preservative to prevent harmful bacteria, yeast, and mold from growing in cosmetic products, helping to extend shelf life and maintain product safety. Commonly used in skincare formulations because it's effective at low concentrations and works well in slightly acidic products. While generally considered safe for most people, it may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals, so patch testing is recommended.
