Preservatives

When you use water in products, it is important to add Preservatives to stop the growth of micro-organisms such as fungi and bacteria. Each Preservative has a specific use. Our range of Preservatives will increase the shelf life of your products - so that you can make natural and professional products! or example, the shelf life of Creams without any Prservatives is 1-2 weeks - this can be prolonged to 1.5-2 years by adding Preservatives.
