Preservatives for cosmetics
Natural cosmetic preservatives
If you make your own cosmetics, you mix different ingredients. Products containing water and natural extracts, polysaccharides and proteins are an ideal environment for the proliferation of microbes and mold. This process begins immediately when storing the cream in a damp bathroom or after a week to a month, when storing it on a shelf in the refrigerator.At first you won't see it, because... the cream will have no external signs of deterioration, but applying such cosmetics is harmful.Refusal of preservatives is fraught with skin rashes, irritation, and allergic reactions.To extend shelf life and fight microorganisms, preservatives are introduced into cosmetics.
