PreservativesOne of the many advantages to handcrafting your own natural products is that you can eliminate harmful preservatives and choose to adapt more natural methods of preserving and using your products. When manufacturing products for retail sale, you must ensure that your products are properly preserved and will not pose health risks to your customers. This generally means that you will need to use conventional preservatives commonly found in cosmetics such as Germaben and other paraben based preservative systems. The usage rates shown for preservatives are intended to be used as a guideline. Using the recommended level of preservative does NOT mean that your product will be properly preserved. The only way to determine the shelf life of your product and to confirm that your product is adequately preserved is to have your product tested.
