| Preservatives |
| Cosmetic products become easily contaminated by microbes. Containing water, oils,
peptides, and carbohydrates cosmetics are a very good medium for growth of microbes. All these factors
contribute to the fact that cosmetic products need very good preservation to prevent microbial growth and spoiling of the cosmetic
product and also infection of the skin.
Preservatives are active ingredients able to prevent the growth bacteria, fungi, & viruses. All our preservatives have potent antimicrobial properties preventing personal care and makeup products effectively from spoiling and prolonging substantially the shelf-life. Some of these agents also have stabilizing effects able to preserve the function of various active ingredients including anti-oxidants (vitamins), emulsifiers and surfactants. The addition of such kind of stabilizers makes sure that creams, lotions and other complex cosmetic products do not separate or otherwise disintegrate. |

| Zinc Oxides: Which One is Right for You? |
| Regular zinc oxide has
a particle size of >200 nm (nanometer), a visible whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, gives great coverage in makeup products and lip balms, and
offers good protection in baby care products. Micronized zinc oxide has a particle size of <200nm (mean 86nm), has a minimal whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, offers superior sun protection but does not offer coverage in makeup products. Micronized zinc oxide coated with silicone offers basically the same features as non-coated micronized zinc oxide but is easier to disperse in oils, and works well in formulas containing carbomers. |
