In Depth Info About Emu Oil Cosmetic Ingredients Preservatives Without the addition of preservatives, a cream or lotion would spoil within 8 to 14 days. Even though some preservatives can cause skin reactions, the alternative of not using them is worse. The more natural ingredients a lotion may contain, the more preservatives are needed to keep it from spoiling. Since natural ingredients have a larger range of limitations, synthetic ingredients are often safer and more reliable for the skin. This applies to preservatives as well. Most commonly used preservatives are: Parabens - Very stable preservatives used in all cosmetics. Methyl paraben has a broad spectrum of anti microbial activity. Butyl paraben has anti fungal properties. Both parabens are used together in most cosmetics. Diazolidinyl urea - Newer cosmetic preservative, very antiseptic. Made from dissolving urea crystals in alcohol. Benzoic acid - A preservative that occurs in nature in cherry bark, raspberries, tea, anise, and cassia bark. A good anti fungal agent. Gum Benzoin
- As a natural preservative, it is balsamic resin from benzoin (cassia
bark) grown in Thailand and Sumatra.
