It's one of those things that help your cosmetics not to go wrong too soon, aka a preservative. It’s not a strong one and doesn’t really work against bacteria, but more against mold and yeast. To do that it has to break down to its active form, sorbic acid. For that to happen, there has to be water in the product and the right pH value (pH 3-4). Serine is an amino acid that most often comes to the formula as part of a moisturizing complex. It's anon-essential amino acid (meaning that our body can synthesize it) and serves as a water-binding ingredient. For example, in case of AHA or BHA exfoliants, the right pH is super-duper important, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide are needed. Its composition is pretty unique: it does not contain any of the EU's 26 most common fragrance allergens, but its most important components are patchoulol (30%) and alpha- patchoulene (6%) which areresponsiblefor its aroma and antifungal properties.
