"Potassium" refers to the element potassium. Potassium cornate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an emulsifier (surface-active substance which is used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to form an emulsion) and as a surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of the products during application).
