Preservatives

Preservatives play a crucial role in the formulation of cosmetic products. They protect the formulas from the proliferation of bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, thus ensuring their safety and shelf life. Although often criticised, preservatives are essential in cosmetics and are subject to strict regulations to guarantee their harmlessness.
