Great for my crafted skin care and beverages.
I have been using this potassium sorbate for years now in my hand cream as one part of my preservative system to keep it shelf stable. I have seen a bunch of reviews where people are not sure what to do with it. Maybe this will help: Let's say I make a 200 gram batch of conditioner. For that batch size, I am using about 0.005% potassium sorbate (or 1 gram). You dissolve it in a tablespoon of distilled water. You can just pour the water into a sterilized little bowl on top of the potassium sorbate and it will dissolve without needing to stir it. Then you add that once the temp is down below 104°F. It is not the only 'naturally derived' preservative I use in my recipes but it does a great job. And for something like my homemade root beer, I would use about 0.025% (or 0.07 grams in an 8oz bottle). More than that and you inhibit fermentation more. You will probably want a balance (or a kitchen scale, or a jewelry scale) that has a readability of 0.01 grams. If your scale can only read down to 0.1g, you will use way too much. If you are tasting it in your food you are doing something wrong ( like using too much) or you ordered something else.

Good product in cheap bags
Fine product., but I always pour the product out of these bags and into other more suitable containers.

Perfect for making eatables shelf stable longer
I use these to make eatables shelf stable for longer periods of time. The small amount needed does not alter taste what-so-ever. This will last me a lifetime. So far 5 weeks and nothing is spoiling, melting, or growing fuzz. Seems to be working as expected.

Good value
What can i say? it is a pure chemical that I use for cooking. Came packaged well, but since this amount will probably last a lifetime, i repackaged it in a glass jar with moisture absorber.

Works well, happy that it comes in a paper bag
I Have been using this in some homemade haircare products AND sauces and it seems to keep them super fresh! Even the hair conditioner that sits in the shower, getting moist and warm (perfect place for bacteria). It DOES have a funny taste though, if you use too much. Prepare to experiment to find the the perfect ratio to prevent contamination but also prevent an off flavor or smell (as with the hair conditioner).

Exactly what was expected
Purchased for my Husband's winemaking and this is exactly what we expected. Decently priced and delivered by Amazon in a day or so, always an added plus.
