Hello
I'm looking to make my own skin care products and would like to know if anyone knows of "natural" vs. synthetic preservatives to use for all skin care products (face creams, cleansers, other facial products).
Thank you so much in advance.
Freesprit, you asked this question was answered in http://www.dermatalk.com/showthread....t=preservative. Please refer to that thread.
Herbal-Active is currently used as a natural antimicrobial by a host of cosmetic manufacturers. It is made from culinary herb extracts adsorbed onto Acacia gum or mixed into olive oil (for non-aqueous applications).
