There are preservatives in almost all our products. Once prepared, our products contain 90-95% water, so the addition of preservatives is necessary to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Preservatives are even more necessary since the products are sometimes found in a humid and hot area such as the shower/bathroom.
Body and hair care
The preservative system used for hair and body products (shampoo, body wash, 3-in-1 and conditioner) provides gentle, broad spectrum protection. It is composed of:
- Gluconolactone, a molecule derived from natural sources and approved by the COSMOS standard.
- Sodium Benzoate, a synthetic molecule, but identical to that found in nature. This ingredient is also authorized by the COSMOS standard.
For your information, the COSMOS standard is a standard defining organic and natural cosmetic products. It is the reference used in Europe, but we use it as a basis for the choice of our ingredients because of the strictness of its criteria.
