Preservatives V. No

Preservatives are vital for all water-based skincare products. Full stop.

Unfortunately, preservatives and reactive skin aren't immediate friends.

Many people turn away from preservatives and toward essential and carrier oils to moisturize their skin.

There isn't any moisture in oil, though and the consequence is greasy but dry skin. I've worked around all that to create a preservative free, hydrating skin care routine that uses natural ingredients.

Preservative free skincare isn't a solution for everyone, but for those of us whose skin throws a snit if we walk through dust, it's a nonnegotiable.
