Preservatives
Preservatives protect the integrity and effectiveness of ingredients in a product. Our preservative combination, Phenoxyethanol and EDTA is used at 1% or less.

Parabens
Parabens are preservatives. The most common are Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Benzylparaben, Isobutylparaben, and Butylparaben. According to an EPA study parabens displayed estrogenic activity in several tests, which means the chemicals mimic your body's own hormones and can have endocrine-disrupting action. Parabens are a widely used preservative and are found in food, pharmaceuticals, deodorants, and cosmetics.
