Potassium Bitartrate
Potassium Bitartrate
Potassium bitartrate is the potassium acid salt of tartaric acid, commonly known as cream of tartar. In cosmetics it is used primarily as a pH-adjusting, buffering, and minor chelating/supporting ingredient rather than as an active treatment ingredient. It is water-soluble and generally considered low hazard in typical cosmetic use. ([pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Potassium-Bitartrate?utm_source=openai))
