FAMILY SAFE
Our policy is to be open and honest about the ingredients we use in our products, the only ingredient that can be deemed as unsafe is our preservative - this is why we use them.
WHY WE HAVE TO USE PRESERVATIVES:
All skin and cleaning products that contain water must have preservative added. Without preservative, like food, our products would have to be stored in a refrigerator, and even then food doesn't last very long. We have looked to other major natural product providers internationally and we have chosen to use Sodium Benzoate as a preservative as it is the most common and safest available. We are in the process of also incorporating Phenoxyethanol to provide a better protection against spoilage bacteria and mould. The US Natural Products Association allow both these ingredients to be used in skin and cleanng products as they are considered compatible with natural products, and without preservatives the products will become unsafe.
Sodium Benzoate is a food preservative and is a copy of the a plant based preservative that is found in fruits such as cranberries, prunes, apples, cinnamon, cloves etc. and it is not a nasty product. Companies that claim they do not use preservatives in their skin and cleaning products that contain water, are very probably misleading consumers and we prefer to be upfront.
