Preservatives are of great importance because they protect cosmetics that contain water from microbial deterioration. Microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and yeast) can form in water and spoil a product. Whether conventional or natural cosmetics, as soon as a cream or other product is opened, bacteria and other microorganisms can penetrate and cause irritation of the skin or, in the worst case, allergic reactions. The problem is that you cannot see microorganisms in a product and only notice them when it is too late and mold or an unpleasant smell has formed. This problem makes preservation necessary in order to be able to offer a product that does not pose a risk to one's own health. Preservatives therefore make an important contribution to the health of consumers and make a product last longer.
Personal care products and cosmetics must be stable for at least 30 months if unopened.
