Nature Derived Preservatives

Preservatives derived from plants are safer for skin and body while keeping your product free of microbes or bacteria. Such preservatives do have one minor drawback – they do not work for years and years like their synthetic counterparts. So, products (like ours) that use nature derived preservatives have a shelf life. Personal care products that use the natural philosophy often use delicate botanicals which also have shelf lives themselves.
Synthetic and controversial preservatives are unnecessary anyway because there’s really no point in preserving a product way past the point when these botanicals have stopped working.
A natural product benefits from having an good preservative system (using plant derived preservatives) that is safe for you and the environment while effectively preserving your product during your period of usage.
Here is a list of the plant based preservatives that we use in our products
- - Sodium Anisate (anti-microbial and anti-bacterial agent derived from Basil)
- - Sodium Levulinate (derived from corn/ maize)
- - Potassium sorbate (booster against yeast)
- - Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate (derived from Kimchii)
