Our products are breastfeeding and pregnancy safe, however we recommend consulting your doctor first before use.

Do you use preservatives in your products?

We use natural preservative systems to extend the shelf life of our products. These are used in extremely low percentages, and do not pose a threat to the skin.

PARFUM (NATICIDE®)

A broad spectrum preservative effective against yeasts and molds. Naticide is naturally derived fragrance mixture that has a sweet vanilla/almond-like scent, and this remains in the end formulation. Naticide ® is a Trade name of Sinerga. It is not acceptable for use on our product label’s ingredient list. The correct INCI name for our label, when using Naticide ® is ‘Parfum’ or ‘Fragrance’.

LEUCIDAL

Natural antimicrobial peptide originally derived from lactic acid bacteria. Restricts the growth of micro-organisms.

POTASSIUM SORBATE

Potassium sorbate is a mild, yet effective preservative. It is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. Potassium sorbate inhibits moulds, fungus and some bacteria. Therefore it is best used as a co-preservative. It as an alternative to parabens and it also works well in conjunction with other natural preservatives.

SALICYCLIC ACID

A key component in our preservative system as it is an effective agent for the prevention of fermentation. 

SORBIC ACID

Sorbic acid and its salts, such as sodium sorbate and potassium sorbate are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of moldyeast, and fungi. In general the salts are preferred over the acid form because they are more soluble in water, but the active form is the acid.

We use a wide range of very high quality essential oils. These essential oils not only provide a beautiful fragrance to the product they also carry powerful therapeutic properties.
