Harmful Chemicals

Without ANY Preservative at all in our emulsified products like Lotions and Creams. It wouldn't be long before all manner of nasty microscopic critters would be swarming through them. To ensure our Creams and Lotions show up at your doorstep as fresh and pure as the day they left production We use a variety of Mild & Safe industry standard cosmetic preservatives. Unlike their close competitors these Preservatives are not derivative of - or contain Parabens or formaldehyde so our products are completely safe.

Can't you use Natural Preservatives?

We do use natural preservatives when possible, Examples of this would be our use of very small quantities of Rosemary Extract and Black Willow Bark Extract. The problem is that Rosemary extract & Black Willow Bark extract can become unsafe and irritating to the skin when used in the massive quantities needed to effectively preserve water and oil based products like Lotions and Creams. 
 

Is there an alternative to using preservatives?

Believe us - we have looked at ALL Natural alternatives and there simply isn't ANY Safe & Effective Natural way of preserving certain products using Any other Ingredients at ANY Price.

There are some excellent smaller companies out there doing really wonderful things for the skin care industry but Sometimes, companies who need an edge to break into this market will hide their preservatives within another ingredient description or simply not list the "working" preservatives in their ingredient listings at all - relying on the excuse - "If it's used at less than 1% I don't have to list it". Although it is true that Preservatives are normally used in only a fraction of a percent. They are classed as active ingredients so must be listed on the ingredient panel.

Are Un-Preserved Lotions & Cream products safe?

Commercially No... But they can be if you are making them just for yourself and if they are immediately stored in a refrigerator.Treat all un-preserved lotions and creams like Dairy Products. You have to know when to discard them and Usually they will start to break down and separate after a short period of time, this is a sign that those microscopic critters are winning the battle against freshness.
