PRESERVATIVES USED – Formulations are made as self-preserving products – with only small portion of benzyl alcohol and dehydroacetic acid, well researched Cosmos and ECOGEA approved preservatives for organic cosmetics. Self-preserving is achieved as a combination of few natural derived ingredients. The mixture is composed of organic acids that are found in nature in many plants and bee hives (e.g. levulinic acid), chelator of natural origin (sodium phytate), plant derived multifunctional glyceryl monoester (Glyceryl Caprylate). The pH of products (= 5.5) is appropriately balanced with the acidic environment. The products are packed in containers with limited access to ambient air, which minimizes any chance of overall product contamination.

• CETEARYL ALCOHOL – An ingredient for regulation of viscosity and texture.
• GUAR GUM, XANTHAN GUM – Natural thickeners and stabilisers. Act as transepidermal water loss protectors to maintain desirable levels of TEWL.

In the morning and evening apply the serum on clean skin.
