## Description

Product description A gentle yet effective way to protect your handmade skincare Preservative Eco is a broad-spectrum, plant-based preservative designed specifically for water-based cosmetic products like creams, lotions, serums, and gels. Whether you're formulating professionally or crafting in small batches at home, this preservative offers reliable protection against bacteria, yeast, and mould — without compromising your values. It’s a favourite among natural formulators for a reason. With a mild scent and skin-friendly profile, Preservative Eco blends easily into emulsions and water-based solutions. It works across a broad pH range and is effective at low concentrations, making it ideal for even the most sensitive skincare products. Important to know: This product is manufactured with a 12-month shelf life. When purchased, it typically has between 9 to 6 months of shelf life remaining. As long as you use it before the expiry date, it will still perform effectively in your formulation and preserve your product according to standard guidelines — which can be up to 2 years, depending on your recipe and storage conditions. Why You’ll Love It: Broad-spectrum protection from microbial growth Suitable for creams, lotions, gels, toners & serums Plant-based and gentle on sensitive skin Low usage rate (0.6% – 1%) Works in a pH range of 3 – 8 Helps extend product shelf life up to 24 months (product dependent) Use Preservative Eco to extend the shelf life of your creations naturally and safely — whether you're gifting handmade products or building your own skincare brand. It’s the quiet hero that keeps your formulations fresh, stable, and worry-free. Safety Warning • For external use only. Do not ingest. • Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water. • Always conduct a patch test before using in a final formulation. • Keep out of reach of children. • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. • Use before the expiry date for best performance. • Wear gloves and follow good manufacturing practices (GMP) when handling raw ingredients. • Not recommended for use in anhydrous (oil-only) products. Please refer to the SDS for any questions regarding handling of this material.

Review: Great - Perfect for all my formulations.
Review: Keeps home made cosmetics safe to use. - I chose this because it is natural and a broad spectrum preservative. It arrived quickly with a long expiry date. Although the quantity is small, using it at 1or 2% it will last a long time. The integral dropper in the neck of the plastic bottle allows accurate measurement. So far it has kept my body butters and sugar scrubs fresh and safe to use. Theoretically these don’t need preservatives, but at some point in use they get water contamination and Presevative Eco means they are still safe afterwards. I have sensitive skin and not had any trouble with using this preservative so far. Update 07/03/24. I have just bought my second bottle of this. It’s really good stuff.
