Preservatives
Preservatives are what make our lotions
and butters safe. Any product made with water can grow bacteria, yeasts and molds. A preservative allows us to make
a product that will be able to be stored at room temperature instead of your fridge. A preservative allows you to keep
your lotion or butter for longer than two weeks without fear of growing nasties.
This preservative is highly effective in
inhibiting the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and molds. Germall Plus is a registered trade
mark of the manufacturer, Sutton Laboratories. INCI Name: Propylene Glycol (and) Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.
We use this in our butters and lotions.

preservative for personal care products from ISP, Optiphen is a unique liquid preservative formulation which consists of phenoxyethanol
and an emollient base. INCI Name: Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol
Rosemary Oleoresin (ROE)
Rosemary Oleoresin contains natural antioxidant
compounds that are derived from the rosemary plant (Rosmarinus officinalis). ROE is often used for its antioxidant properties
to retard the oxidation of oils and helps to retard rancidity. INCI Name: Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.
We add ROE to our bulk oils to keep them from going rancid.
